  1. A Both form basic oxides and hydroxides
  2. B Ions of both have strong tendency to form complexes
  3. C In vapour phase chlorides of both have \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)bridged chloride structure
  4. D Chlorides of both are soluble in organic solvents
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) In vapour phase chlorides of both have \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)bridged chloride structure

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxides and hydroxides of both \(\mathrm{Be}\) and \(\mathrm{Al}\) are amphoteric and dissolve in sodium hydroxide solution as well as in hydrochloric acid.…
