Anomalous Behaviour of Beryllium
Anomalous behavior of an element mentions the deviation of the properties and behavior of an element from its usual or normal behavior.
Beryllium has a small atomic size as well as ionic size.
The high ionization enthalpy and small size of alkaline earth metals reverberate in the formation of covalent compounds that are easy to hydrolyze.
Their coordination number is not greater than 4 due to the presence of 4 electrons in the valence shell.
Their oxide and hydroxide are amphoteric in nature.
