The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the provided statements regarding Beryllium and Aluminum, and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option 1: Beryllium and Aluminum show diagonal relationship.** - Beryllium (Be) and Aluminum (Al) do indeed show a diagonal relationship in the periodic table. This means they exhibit similar properties due to their comparable ionic radii and charge-to-radius ratios. - **Conclusion:** This statement is true. 2. **Analyze Option 2: Beryllium forms tetrahedral complexes.** - Beryllium typically forms tetrahedral complexes such as BeF4²⁻ and Be(C2O4)²⁻. This is a characteristic behavior of Beryllium due to its small size and high charge density. - **Conclusion:** This statement is also true. 3. **Analyze Option 3: Aluminum forms octahedral complexes.** - Aluminum commonly forms octahedral complexes, such as AlF6³⁻ and Al(C2O4)³⁻. The larger ionic size of Aluminum compared to Beryllium allows it to stabilize such geometries. - **Conclusion:** This statement is true as well. 4. **Analyze Option 4: All are correct statements.** - Since all the previous statements (1, 2, and 3) have been found to be true, this statement must also be true. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 4: All are correct statements.**
