Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The solution of the Scrodinger equation gives the wave function ψ which contains all the information about the system. Electrons are both particles and waves. The dominant nature depends on the experiment taking place i.e interaction of the electrons with the surroundings.
