Assertion (A): Beryllium compounds are covalent in nature. Reason (R ): The size of `Be^(2+)`ion is larger in compariso to the radii of the other divalent ions of alkaline earth metals.A. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct and `(R )` is the correct explanation of `(A)`.B. If both `(A)` and `(R )` are correct, but `(R )` is not the correct explanation of `(A)`.C. If `(A)` is correct, but `(R )` is incorrect.D. If `(A)` is incrrect, but `(R )` is correct.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Correct reason: Due to small size and high charge on `Be^(2+)` polarising power of `Be^(2+)` is high and it forms convalent compounds.
