NEET Physics Hydrogen Atom Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): In a hydrogen atom, the kinetic energy of the electron is positive. | Reason (R): The total energy of the electron in a hydrogen atom is negative, indicating that the electron is bound to the nucleus.
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.
