Assertion (A): s- block elements can form ionic hydrides. Which on electrolysis in fused state give `H_(2)` gas at cathode. Reason (R) : s-block elements have low IE and low EN as compared to p-block elements.A. If both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation for A.B. If both A and R are correct and R is not the correct explanation for A.C. If A is correct and R is incorrectD. If A is incorrect and R is correct

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Correct assertion: s-block elements form ionic hydrides but gives `H_(2)` gas at anode, e.g.
`NaH rarr Na^(o+) + H^(ɵ)`
`2H^(ɵ) rarr H_(2)+2e^(-)` (oxidation occurs at anode)
Reason is correct.
