does beryllium easily reacts with nitrogen atom? |
|
Answer» On the whole, the metals burn in oxygen to form a simple metal oxide.Berylliumis reluctant to burn unless it is in the form of dust or powder.Berylliumhas a very strong (but very thin) layer ofberylliumoxide on its surface, and this prevents any new oxygen getting at the underlyingberylliumtoreactwith it. They are less reactive than alkali metals, but they form (except forberyllium) alkaline oxides and hydroxides. Alkaline earth metals all have two valence electrons, and theyeasilyoxidize to the +2 state. ... Alkaline earth metalsreactwith halogens and (except forberyllium) with water and oxygen. |
