Vedclass · Answer

(A) Beryllium $(Be)$ is the first element of Group $2$ and has a very high ionization energy and a high negative reduction potential compared to other alkaline earth metals. However,in aqueous solutions,$Be$ is less reactive than $Mg$ due to its high hydration energy and the formation of a protective oxide layer. More importantly,$Be$ cannot displace $Mg$ from its salt solution $(MgCl_2)$ because $Mg$ is more electropositive than $Be$. Therefore,no reaction occurs when beryllium powder is added to a $MgCl_2$ solution.

Beryllium is placed above magnesium in Group $2$. What happens when beryllium powder is added to a solution of $MgCl_2$?
