Given below are two statements: Statement I: Atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal number of positive and negative charges. Statement II: 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.

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  2. BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
  3. CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct

Correct answer

B. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Step-by-step solution

Statement I is true as atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal number of positive and negative charges. Statement II is wrong as atom of most of the elements are stable and emit characteristic spectrum. But this statement is not true for every atom.
