Question

Why be(oh)2 is amphoteric compared to other ydroxides of its group?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Beryllium hydroxide, Be(OH)2, is an amphoteric hydroxide, dissolving in both acids and alkalis. Industrially, it is produced as a by-product in the extraction of beryllium metal from the ores beryl and bertrandite. When alkali is added to beryllium salt solutions the α-form (a gel) is formed.
