Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Assertion= correct, As O2=21% and N2=78%Reason = correctAtomic nitrogen and atomic oxygen don't exist under "normal" conditions because each forms molecules N2 andO2.N2 is less reactive than O2 in most gaseous reactions because there is a strong triple bond between the atoms, all the valence electrons are in bonding orbitals, and more energy is needed to excite them.
