Given below are two statements: Atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal number of positive and negative charges. 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:
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Statement II is correct but Statement I is incorrect.
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
To solve this problem, let's analyze each statement separately.• Statement I: "Atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal number of positive and negative charges."This statement is correct. Atoms consist of protons (positive charges) and electrons (negative charges).In a neutral atom, the number of protons equals the number of electrons, making the atom electrically neutral.• Statement II: "Atoms of each element are stable and emit their characteristic spectrum."This statement is partially correct. While atoms do emit characteristic spectra,not all atoms are inherently stable. Stability depends on the balance of forces within the nucleus.For example, isotopes can be unstable and radioactive.Based on the analysis:• Statement I is correct.• Statement II is incorrect because not all atoms are stable.Therefore, the most appropriate answer is:Option 1: Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
