Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : Loss of electron from hydrogen atom results in nucleus of $\sim 1.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{pm}$ size.

Reason R : Proton $\left(\mathrm{H}^{+}\right)$ always exists in combined form.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

A Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are correct and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$
B A is correct but R is not correct
C A is not correct but R is correct
D Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are correct but $\mathbf{R}$ is NOT the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$

Accepted Answer

Size of nucleus is of order

1.5 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}

or

1.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{pm}

\mathrm{H}^{+}

always exists in combined form.

There is no relation between two statements and hence option (D) is the answer.
