NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 12. atoms
Given below are two statements: Statement \(I\): Atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal number of positive and negative charges. Statement \(II\): Atoms of each element are stable and emit their characteristic spectrum. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
- A Both Statement \(I\) and Statement \(II\) are incorrect
- B Statement I is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
- C Statement \(I\) is incorrect but Statement \(II\) is correct
- D Both Statement I and Statement \(II\) are correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Statement I is correct but Statement \(II\) is incorrect
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement \(I\) is true as atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal number of positive and negative charges. Statement \(II\) is wrong as atom of most of the elements are stable and emit characteristic spectrum. But this statement is not true for every atom.
