Vedclass · Answer

(B) $A.$ Beryllium oxide $(BeO)$ is amphoteric in nature, not purely acidic.$B.$ Beryllium carbonate $(BeCO_3)$ is thermally unstable and decomposes easily, so it is kept in an atmosphere of $CO_2$ to prevent decomposition.$C.$ Beryllium sulphate $(BeSO_4)$ is readily soluble in water due to the high hydration enthalpy of the small $Be^{2+}$ ion.$D.$ Beryllium shows anomalous behavior compared to other alkaline earth metals due to its small atomic size, high ionization energy, and high polarising power $(\phi)$.Therefore, statements $B, C,$ and $D$ are correct.
