Reason
The electronegativity difference between Be and H is very high.
Assertion
Beryllium hydride is a covalent hydride.
Beryllium hydride is a covalent hydride.
A
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
B
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
C
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
D
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Correct option is C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Beryllium hydride is a covalent hydride. because the electronegativity difference between $$Be\,(1.5)$$ and $$H\,(2.1)$$ is small.
Hence, Option "C" is the correct answer.
