Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus

Statement 1: Saline hydrides are non-volatile, non-conducting and crystalline solids. Statement 2: Saline hydrides are compounds of hydrogen with most of the p block elements.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is FalseCorrect
