The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Atomic number of hydrogen is 1. Hence it has 1 proton. Also for a
neutral atom, number of protons is equal to number of electrons hence it
has 1 electron It does not have any neutron. Also two H atoms share one electron each to form covalent bond of diatomic hydrogen molecule.
