Yes, due to the smaller amount of electrons that Be has in comparison to C

Why is lithium more reactive then beryllium?
I think lithium should be more reactive as it has only 1 valance electron wheres Boron has 3 valance electrons. The electro positivity(tendency to lose electrons) of Lithium is greater then Boron, therefore more reactive.
What is more reactive CO2 or CO?
CO is more reactive than CO2. This is because CO has a single bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which makes the oxygen more readily available for reactions. CO2, on the other hand, has double bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making it less reactive.
What is the difference between lithium and beryllium?
Beryllium and Lithium have many differences. Lithium reacts readily with water, where Beryllium does not. Lithium has a fairly low melting point, and Beryllium has a high melting point. Beryllium is highly toxic, and Lithium is fairly nontoxic. Both are metals, and have metallic appearance and conduct electricity but Beryllium more brittle than Lithium is.
What two processes are used to extract metals?
There are 3 means of extracting metals that are used more than any others and they are: Reduction with carbon: An ore of a metal which is less reactive than carbon is heated with carbon and the more reactive carbon will separate the metallic element from its ore e.g extraction of Iron in a blast furnace Electrolysis: An electrical current is passed through a solution of the metal ore and the metal is split from its ore and collects at an electrode, this is done for metals more reactive than carbon Extraction by other metals: As some metals are more reactive than the other this can be used to split up the metallic ore, an example of this is the extraction of Titanium which involves the use of several other more reactive metals.
Is mercury more reactive than zinc?
Zinc is more reactive than mercury.
Is beryllium more reactive than strontium?
No, strontium is more reactive than beryllium.
Is Carbon more reactive than Phosphorus or vice versa?
carbon is more reactive
Is carbon 12 more reactive than carbon 14?
Carbon with a mass of 14 is more reactive. It is an isotope. but i don't know exactly why it is more reactive..
What element is less reactive than potassium but more reactive than carbon?
Sodium
Is carbon more reactive than phosphorus?
NO, not in their pure form. Phosphorus is much more reactive.
Is copper more reactive than carbon?
yes
Why isn't carbon present in magnesium?
carbon is more reactive than magnesium
Why is carbon not used for reducing aluminum from aluminum oxide?
because aluminium is more reactive than carbon (open "reactive series" in internet).
Why is carbon less reactive than sodium?
Because carbon is in group 14 of the periodic table and sodium is in group 1 so that means that sodium is more reactive because its in group 1 which is more reactive than group 14.
Why is lithium more reactive then beryllium?
I think lithium should be more reactive as it has only 1 valance electron wheres Boron has 3 valance electrons. The electro positivity(tendency to lose electrons) of Lithium is greater then Boron, therefore more reactive.
Is iron more reactive than sulfur?
Yes, iron is more reactive than calcium as iron is a metal and generally metals are more reactive than non-metals and calcium is a non-metal.
What is more reactive CO2 or CO?
CO is more reactive than CO2. This is because CO has a single bond between the carbon and oxygen atoms, which makes the oxygen more readily available for reactions. CO2, on the other hand, has double bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms, making it less reactive.
