Assertion : Magnesium reacts with oxygen upon heating and burns brightly to form magnesium oxide.
Reason : Magnesium oxide is basic in nature.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • ✓
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
