Be ( OH ) 2 reacts with Sr ( OH ) 2 to yield an ionic salt. Choose the incorrect option related to this reaction from the following
Options
- ABoth Sr and Be elements are present in the ionic salt
- BBe is tetrahedrally coordinated in the ionic salt
- CThe element Be is present in the cationic part of the ionic salt
- DThe reaction is an example of acid-base neutralization reaction
Correct answer
C. The element Be is present in the cationic part of the ionic salt
Step-by-step solution
Be OH 2 has amphoteric nature. Sr OH 2 has basic nature. These two compounds undergo acid-base reaction to get salt, Be OH 2 + Sr OH 2 ⟶ Sr + 2 Be ( OH ) 4 - 2 As Be is present in anionic part.
