Assertion (A) : An atom is neutral despite the charged particles in it. 

Reason (R) : The neutrons do not have any charge. 

  • A.Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  • B.Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • C.A is true but R is false.
  • D.A is false but R is true.

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Both statements are true, but the neutron’s lack of charge is not what makes the atom neutral. The atom is neutral because it contains equal numbers of protons and electrons, whose opposite charges cancel; the neutrons merely add mass without affecting the balance. R does not explain A.
