उत्तर
Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Alkaline earth metals are stable at room temperature except beryllium carbonate. It decomposes to give beryllium oxide and carbon dioxide. It is kept in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide so that equilibrium shifts to the right. The reaction is shown below.
\[\ce{BeCO3 ⇌ BeO + CO2}\]
