Assertion: Dalton's Atomic Theory states that atoms are indivisible and indestructible.
Reason: This statement is based on the observation that in chemical reactions, atoms are rearranged but not destroyed or created.
Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
The assertion is false, but the reason is true.
Dalton's Atomic Theory was proposed in the early 19th century and stated that atoms are the fundamental units of matter, they are indivisible and indestructible. This assertion is based on the observation that during chemical reactions, atoms are rearranged, but they are not created or destroyed. The reason is also correct and supports the assertion as it explains why Dalton believed that atoms are indestructible. Hence option A is the correct answer.
Option (2) is incorrect because it incorrectly states that the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect. Both the assertion and reason are correct. Hence option B is incorrect.
Option (3) is incorrect because it incorrectly states that the assertion is incorrect but the reason is correct. The assertion is correct, and the reason is also correct. Hence option C is incorrect.
Option (4) is incorrect because it incorrectly states that both the assertion and reason are incorrect. Both the assertion and reason are correct. Hence option D is incorrect.
