Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of the $(A).$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Assertion $(A)$ is true because neutrons are neutral particles,meaning they do not experience the Coulomb force when passing through the electron clouds of atoms. This allows them to penetrate matter much more easily than charged particles like protons. The Reason $(R)$ is also true because the mass of a neutron $(m_n \approx 1.6749 	imes 10^{-27} \ kg)$ is slightly greater than the mass of a proton $(m_p \approx 1.6726 	imes 10^{-27} \ kg)$. However,the reason for the high penetrating power of neutrons is their lack of electric charge,not their mass. Therefore,$(R)$ is not the correct explanation for $(A).$

Given below are two statements $:$ one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and other is labelled as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A) :$ Neutrons penetrate matter more readily as compared to protons.
Reason $(R) :$ Neutrons are slightly more massive than protons.
