Solution
Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.
Explanation:
There is no alpha hydrogen atom in the Cannizaro process. Formaldehyde and aromatic aldehydes do not contain alpha hydrogen. It proceeds through the Cannizaro reaction. Formaldehyde is the most reactive of all aldehydes.
