Which of the following is an amphoteric hydroxide?

  1. Mg(OH)2
  2. Be(OH)2
  3. Sr(OH)2
  4. Ca(OH)2

Answer

(2) Be(OH)2

Solution

As per NCERT, beryllium shows anomalous behaviour; its oxide and hydroxide are amphoteric, while those of the other alkaline earth metals are basic.

Be(OH)2 + 2OH- [Be(OH)4]2-

Be(OH)2 + 2HCl + 2H2O [Be(OH2)4]Cl2

Be(OH)2 reacts with both acid and alkali.

Answer: (2)
