Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
According to Dalton's atomic theory, atoms of one element cannot be changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions and atoms can neither be created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.

Avogadro's law: It states "equal volumes of any two gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules".

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
