BeO is insoluble but BaO is soluble as

A

lattice energy of `BeO` is higher than BaO due to small size of `Be^(2+)` ion and its covalent nature

B

hydration energy of BeO is lower than BaO due to small size `Be^(2+)` ion

C

BeO is amphoteric in nature while BaO is basic

D

BeO forms hydrated salts while BaO forms anhydrous salts

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The lattice energy of BeO is higher than BaO due to small size of `Be^(2+)` ion. BeO is covalent while BaO is ionic in nature.
