BeO is almost insoluble in water and BeSO4 is soluble in water because Be2+ is a small cation with a high polarising power and O2� is a small anion. ... When BeO is dissolved in water, the hydration energy of its ions is not sufficient to overcome the high lattice energy. Therefore, BeO is insoluble in water.
