Beryllium and aluminum exhibit many properties which are similar. But the two elements differ in: maximum covalency in compounds, exhibiting amphoteric nature in their oxides, forming covalent halides, forming polymeric hydrides
exhibiting amphoteric nature in their oxides
forming covalent halides
forming polymeric hydrides
maximum covalency in compounds
Solution:
Be exhibits maximum covalency of four whereas Al shows maximum covalency of six.
