Beryllium bydroxide- Be-OH-2 is amphoteric in nature- as it reacts with acid and alkali both-Be-OH-2-2HCl-x2192-BeCl2-2H2OBe-OH-2-2NaOH-x2192-Na2BeO2-2H2O

Amphoteric hydroxides react with both alkalies and acids. Which of the following Group 2 metal hydroxides is soluble in sodium hydroxides?
$M g (O H)_{2}$
$C a (O H)_{2}$
$B e (O H)_{2}$
$B a (O H)_{2}$

Beryllium bydroxide, $B e (O H)_{2}$ is amphoteric in nature, as it reacts with acid and alkali both.
$B e (O H)_{2} + 2 H C l \to B e C l_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
$B e (O H)_{2} + 2 N a O H \to N a_{2} B e O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
