 Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium

The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below:

» Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid.

» Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4]

» The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts.

» Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (BeF4)2– and (Al F6)3 – respectively.

  1. Antislip Staircase Edge protection

    This is very Great..Aluminium stair nosing are an ideal way to ensure an anti-slip protection at the stairs. These nosings also resist wear and tear at the front edge of stair steps and thus help extending the life of stairway..Aluminium nosings are available in various sizesdepending on functional and architectural requirements of the Project and Client
