Assertion (A) : Divalent compounds of alkaline earth metals are diamagnetic.

Reason (R) : M2+M^{2+} ions of group 2 have noble gas configuration.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is not the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}.
Option B (Both A\mathbf{A} and R\mathbf{R} are true but R\mathbf{R} is not the correct explanation of A\mathbf{A}) is correct because while both statements are true, the noble gas configuration does not directly explain why divalent compounds are diamagnetic; diamagnetism arises from the absence of unpaired electrons.
