Beso4 is soluble but BeO is almost insoluble in water. explain

Answer»

BeO is covalent in nature due to its smaller size, also has high ionisation enthalpy and high electronegativity therefore it is insoluble in water. On the other hand, BeSO4 is ionic. Also because of small size of Be2+ ion, the hydration enthalpy of BeSO4 is much higher than its lattice enthalpy.
