Question

How does beryllium react to form oxides compared to other Group 2 metals?
Options
A It reacts readily at room temperature.
B It is uncreative and reacts only above 600°C.
Correct Answer
C It forms peroxides easily.
D It does not form oxides.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The document mentions, 'But beryllium is uncreative. It can only react above 600°C but the powder is much more reactive.' This indicates its specific reaction conditions for oxide formation.
