Question
Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion: In any ionic solid (MX) with Schottky defects, the number of positive and negative ions are same.
Reason: Equal number of cation and anion vacancies are present.
Options
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
If the Assertion is incorrect and Reason is correct.
