Assertion : Orbit and orbital are synonymous.
Reason : A circular path around the nucleus in which an electron moves is called orbit or orbital.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.
