Beryllium shows different properties from rest of the alkaline earth metals because of its small atomic and ionic size, high electronegativity and high polarising power.But beryllium shows similarities in properties to the second member of the next group i.e. aluminium on account of similar atomic and ionic size and nearly same polarising power Which of the following statements is false ?A. Both `Be(OH)_2` and `Al(OH)_3` dissolve in excess of alkali to give beryllate ion `[Be(OH)_4]^(2-)` and aluminate ion `[Al(OH)_4]^(-)` respectivelyB. Chlorides of Be and Al are soluble in organic solvents and are strong Lewis acid.C. Be and Al have strong tendency to form complexes with `F^-` ligandsD. The chlorides of Be and Al have `Cl^-` bridged structure in liquid phase

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Both have chloride bridged structure in vapour phase.
