Which of the following alkaline earth metals does not exhibit colour when heated in a flame?

The halides of alkaline earth metals form hydrates such as $MgCl_2 \cdot 6H_2O$,$CaCl_2 \cdot 6H_2O$,$BaCl_2 \cdot 2H_2O$,and $SrCl_2 \cdot 2H_2O$. This indicates that the halides of group $2$ elements are:

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are incorrect?

An element $X$ with the electronic configuration $1s^2, 2s^2 2p^6, 3s^2$ would be expected to form the chloride with the formula

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$ :
Assertion $(A)$ : $BeCl_2$ and $MgCl_2$ produce characteristic flame.
Reason $(R)$ : The excitation energy is high in $BeCl_2$ and $MgCl_2$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the option given below :
