Be has the smallest ionic size in Group 2, so its compounds show strong covalent character.

BeSO₄ is relatively soluble, and BeO has high thermal stability due to strong Be–O bonding.

BeO has a higher melting point than BeF₂ due to its stronger lattice/ionic character.

But Be(OH)₂ is amphoteric and sparingly soluble, so it does not have maximum solubility among Group 2 hydroxides.

Hence, the incorrectly stated option is (D) Maximum solubility in hydroxide.

Ans. D
