Question 132

Select the option that is true regarding the following two statements labelled Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
A. A stable atom has the net charge of zero.
R. When the number of electrons does not equal the number of protons, the atom is ionized.

Solution

A talks about a stable atom having zero net charge. R talks about the ionization of atoms. Both statements are true, but A needs an explanation as to why a stable atom has a net charge of zero, which R doesn't.
