1.	What is the Reason for the anomalous behaviour of beryllium?
Answer» The properties of berrylium the first member of the alkaline earth metal, differ from the rest of the member. Its is mainly because of • Its small size and high polarizing power. • Relatively high electro negativity and ionization energy as compared to other members. • Absence of vacant d – orbitals in its valence shell.
