In the following question two or more options may be correct.

Choose the correct statements from the following.



Beryllium is chemically inert to air and water and is not readily attacked by acids because of the presence of a BeO film on the surface of the metal. BeSO4 is readily soluble in water. This is because Be2+ ions overcome the lattice enthalpy factor. Beryllium does not have a coordination number of more than 4. Beryllium oxide is not purely acidic but amphoteric in nature.
