Assertion (A) It is impossible to determine the exact position and exact momentum of an electron simultaneously.
Reason (R) The path of an electron in an atom is clearly defiened.

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

D

Both A and R are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Correct R. The path of an electron in an atom is not clearly defined because its position cannot be measured with absolute accuracy.
