Chemistry · Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): One mole of glucose (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)) and one mole of water (\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)) contain the same number of molecules. Reason (R): One mole of any substance always contains exactly \( 6.02214076 \times 10^{23} \) elementary entities. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. A
   Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. B
   Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
3. C
   (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. D
   (A) is false but (R) is true.
