The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the statements, we need to analyze both Statement 1 (Assertion) and Statement 2 (Reason) and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - **Assertion**: "Nucleus does not contain free electrons, yet it emits beta particles." - **Analysis**: The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. It does not contain free electrons in the same way that atoms have electrons in their outer shells. However, beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton and an electron (beta particle). This means that while the nucleus does not have free electrons, it can still emit electrons during certain nuclear reactions. 2. **Understanding Statement 2**: - **Reason**: "At high n/p ratio, one neutron is supposed to give 1 proton and 1 electron." - **Analysis**: In beta decay, particularly in cases where there is a high neutron-to-proton (n/p) ratio, a neutron can decay into a proton and an electron (the beta particle). This process is a common occurrence in unstable nuclei where there are more neutrons than protons. The emission of the beta particle helps to stabilize the nucleus by converting a neutron into a proton, thereby adjusting the n/p ratio. 3. **Relationship Between the Statements**: - Statement 1 is true because the nucleus does not contain free electrons, yet it can emit beta particles due to the decay of neutrons. - Statement 2 is also true because it accurately describes the process that occurs during beta decay when there is a high n/p ratio. - Since Statement 2 provides a valid reason for Statement 1, we can conclude that both statements are true and that Statement 2 correctly explains Statement 1. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true. - Statement 2 is the correct reason for Statement 1. Thus, the correct answer is that both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the reason for Statement 1.
