Choose the correct statement(s) :

A. Beryllium oxide is purely acidic in nature.

B. Beryllium carbonate is kept in the atmosphere of CO2\mathrm{CO_2} .

C. Beryllium sulphate is readily soluble in water.

D. Beryllium shows anomalous behaviour.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A A only
  • B B, C and D only
  • C A, B and C only
  • D A and B only

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

A. Beryllium oxide is amphoteric in nature.

B. Beryllium carbonate is kept in the atmosphere of CO2 because it is thermally less stable.

C. Beryllium sulphate is readily soluble in water due to high degree of hydration.

D. Beryllium shows anomalous behaviour due to small size, high ionization energy and high value of ϕ\phi (polarising power).
