Question
For question, statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a) (b) (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true, but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): For the fission of heavy nuclei, neutrons are more effective than protons.
Reason (R): Neutrons are heavier than protons.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
A neutron is slightly heavier than a proton. As neutrons are charge less particles, they penetrate matter more than protons. Therefore, they are more effective than protons in fission reactions.
