Name an element from group 2 which forms an amphoteric oxide and a water soluble sulphate.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to small size and somewhat high ionization enthalpy of Be , `Be(OH)_(2)` is amphoteric in nature , i.e., it reacts with both acids and base . Further due to small size , the hydration enthalpy of `Be^(2+)` ions is much higher than the lattice enthalpy of `BeSO_(4)` . As a result , `BeSO_(4)` is highly soluble in water .
