Solution

The correct option is D Be
Solution:

All the elements except beryllium in alkaline earth metals, combine with hydrogen upon heating to form their hydrides, MH2 . It occurs beryllium has a small atomic size and has a high ionisation enthalpy. Due to this, it does not react to direct heating with dihydrogen.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).
