The location and momentum of an electron in an orbital are complementary to each other.
The statement is in accordance with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

As per the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, it is impossible to specify at any given moment, both the position and momentum of an electron.

Thus, Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
