Assertion In atomic form hydrogen consists one proton and one electron. Reason I
Assertion In atomic form hydrogen consists one proton and one electron. Reason In elemental form hydrogen exists as a diatomic molecule and is called dihydrogen.
- A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
- B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
- D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Step-by-step solution
The Assertion is correct: in its atomic form, hydrogen has one proton and one electron. The Reason is also correct: elemental hydrogen exists as a diatomic molecule (H2) called dihydrogen. However, the Reason does not explain the Assertion, as the atomic composition is independent of the molecular form.
