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:Statement I is correct: atoms contain equal numbers of positive and negative charges, so they are electrically neutral. Statement II is incorrect: although atoms of each element emit a characteristic spectrum, they are not necessarily always stable – atoms can undergo processes such as radioactive decay or chemical reactions. So Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
