Beryllium and aluminimum exhibit many properties which are similar . But, the two elements differ inA. Forming covalent halidesB. Forming covalent hydridesC. Exhibiting maximum covalency in compoundsD. Exhibiting amphoteric nature in their oxides |
Answer» Correct Answer - C Both `Be` and `Al` show different maximum covalency in compounds. Maximum covalency of `Be = 4` (due to absence of d-orbitals). Maximum covalency of `Al = 6` (due to presence of d-orbitals). |
