Given below are two statements, one is labelled as

Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A : Beryllium has less negative value of reduction potential compared to the other alkaline earth metals

Reason R : Beryllium has large hydration energy due to small size of Be2+but relatively large value of atomisation enthalpy.
