The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given statements about helium (He) and beryllium (Be), we can break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** "He and Be both have the same outer electronic configuration like `ns^(2)` type." - **Analysis:** - The electronic configuration of helium (He) is `1s^2`. - The electronic configuration of beryllium (Be) is `1s^2 2s^2`. - Both elements indeed have an outer electronic configuration that can be described as `ns^2` (where n is the principal quantum number). - **Conclusion:** Statement 1 is **correct**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** "Both are chemically inert." - **Analysis:** - Helium (He) is a noble gas and is chemically inert due to its fully filled outer shell (1s^2). - Beryllium (Be), on the other hand, is not chemically inert. It is reactive because it has a vacant 2p orbital, which allows it to form compounds. - **Conclusion:** Statement 2 is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Relationship Between the Statements - Since Statement 1 is correct and Statement 2 is incorrect, Statement 2 does not serve as an explanation for Statement 1. ### Final Conclusion - The correct evaluation of the statements is that Statement 1 is true, while Statement 2 is false. ### Answer - The correct option is: Statement 1 is true, but Statement 2 is false. ---
