This is a multiple choice answer as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Option (i) and (ii)
When an electron is removed from a hydrogen atom, the nucleus decreases to 1.5 × 10-3 pm in size. When compared to usual atomic and ionic sizes of 50 to 200 pm, this is exceedingly small. As a result, H+ does not exist independently and is always bound to other atoms or molecules.
