Assertion : Crystals of hydrated calcium sulphate $\left(\mathrm{gypsum} : {\mathrm{CaSO}}_4, 2{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ are soft and easily cleaved.

Reason : Crystals of anhydrous calcium sulphate $\left(\mathrm{anhydrite} : {\mathrm{CaSO}}_4\right)$ are very hard and very difficult

               to cleave.
