Both and are correct but is the correct explanation of
Step-by-step explanation
Loss of an electron from a hydrogen atom results in a nucleus of very small size as compared to other atoms or ions. Due to its small size it cannot exist free. Loss of the electron from hydrogen atom results in nucleus size () of
A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle that is present in the nucleus of an atom, and it can exist in various forms, including as a part of an atomic nucleus, as a free particle, or as a constituent of a larger particle such as a molecule. always exists in combined form.
Both A and R are correct but there is no relation between two statements.
