An element of group 2 forms covalent oxide which is amphoteric in nature and dissolves in water to give an amphoteric hydroxide. Identify the element and write chemical reactions of the hydroxide of the element with an alkali and an acid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The element is Be and its covalent oxide is BeO. Its reaction with acids and bases are :
`BeO + 2HCl to BeCl_2 + H_2O`
`BeO + 2NaOH overset("Heat")to underset("Sodium beryllate")(Na_2BeO_2)+H_2O`
