Berylium is an alkaline metal from the 2nd group, and is the only metal from that group that is unable to react with water. Berylium is unable to form bonds with water molecules due to it's size and high ionization energy (electronegativity) in comparison to other elements in the group. if ionization energy between molecules is almost the same, molecules will not react or form bonds between them.
