discuss the diagonal relationship between Be and Al

Ans. The ionic radius of Be2+ is estimated to be 31 pm : the charge/ radius ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in some ways. Some of the similarities are:

  • Like aluminum, beryllium is not readily attacked by acids because of the presence of an oxide film on the surface of the metal.
  • Beryllium hydroxide dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, just as aluminium hydroxide gives aluminate ion.
  • The chlorides of both beryllium and aluminium have Cl- bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong Lewis acids. They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts.
  • Beryllium and aluminium ions have strong tendency to form complexes.
