Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(A\) and \(B\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \(\mathrm{BeSO}_4\) is soluble in water due to higher hydration energy of \(\mathrm{Be}^{2+}\). It overcomes the lattice energy fâctors making \(\mathrm{BeSO}_4\) soluble in water. The statement is correct. (B) \(\mathrm{BeO}\) is amphoteric oxide as it can react with both…
