Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect The nature of atoms and the manner in which electrons interact and move about their nucleus.There is always a force of attraction between the electrons and nucleus.They strictly follow coloumb law and attract themselves in order to generate necessary centripetal force which will allow them to perform circular motion.
