Question

How does beryllium typically react with oxygen to form its oxide, compared to other Group 2 metals?
Options
A Beryllium is highly reactive and forms its oxide at room temperature.
B Beryllium is unreactive and only forms its oxide above 600°C.
Correct Answer
C Beryllium forms a peroxide (BeO₂) readily.
D Beryllium does not form an oxide with oxygen.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 6 states, 'But beryllium is uncreative. It can only react above 600°C but the powder is much more reactive.' This implies it's less reactive than other Group 2 metals at lower temperatures.

Hint

Look for information specifically about beryllium's reactivity with oxygen.
