The main group elements i.e. representative elements complete their electron configuration using s and p electrons in the periodic table. These elements range from the most metallic to the most non-metallic with intermediate properties, the semi-metals, in between .The elements which occur at the two extremes of the periodic table are highly reactive and therefore, these highly reactive elements do not occur in free state : they usually occur in the combined forms. Beryllium and aluminium exhibit many properties which are similar, but, the two elements differ in :A. Forming covalent halidesB. Forming polymeric hydridesC. Exhibiting maximum covalency in compoundsD. Exhibiting amphoteric nature in their oxides

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Beryllium has the maximum vallency +2 while aluminium exhibits its valency as +3.
