Which of these alkaline earth metal oxides has the greatest percent by mass oxygen 1 barium oxide 2 beryllium oxide 3 calcium oxide 4 magnesium oxide 5 strontium?

2. beryllium oxide. Each oxide contains as many oxygen atoms as alkaline earth metal atoms, and beryllium has the smallest atomic weight of the alkaline earth metals. Therefore, beryllium oxygen has the greatest percentage by weight of oxygen.


what does non metal and non metal form?

it form oxide


Is beryllium an oxide?

No. Beryllium is a metallic element. However, there is a such thing of beryllium oxide, which forms when beryllium combines with oxygen.


Is beryllium magnetic?

No, beryllium is not magnetic. It is a non-magnetic metal with no magnetic properties at room temperature.


Does beryllium have a reaction?

Chemical reactions of the elements Reaction of beryllium with air: Beryllium is a silvery white metal. The surface of beryllium metal is covered with a thin layer of oxide that helps protect the metal from attack by air. It does not oxidize in air even at 600°C. However, powdered beryllium metal does burn in air to give a mixture of white beryllium oxide, BeO, and beryllium nitride, Be3N2. Beryllium oxide is more normally made by heating beryllium carbonate. 2Be(s) + O2(g) → 2BeO(s) 3Be(s) + N2(g) → Be3N2(s) Reaction of beryllium with water: Beryllium metal does not react with water or steam, even if the metal is heated to red heat. Reaction of beryllium with the halogens: Beryllium metal reacts chlorine, Cl2, or bromine, Br2, to form the beryllium dihalides beryllium (II) chloride, BeCl2, and beryllium (II) bromide, BeBr2, respectively. Be(s) + Cl2(g) → BeCl2(s) Be(s) + Br2(g) → BeBr2(s) Reaction of beryllium with acids: The surface of beryllium metal is covered with a thin layer of oxide that helps protect the metal from attack by acids, but powdered beryllium metal dissolves readily in dilute acids such as sulphuric acid, H2SO4, hydrochloric acid, HCl, or nitric acid, HNO3, to form solutions containing the aquated Be(II) ion together with hydrogen gas, H2. Be(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Be2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + H2(g) Reaction of beryllium with bases: Beryllium metal dissolves readily in dilute aquesous base solutions such as sodium hydroxide, NaOH, to form Be(II) complexes together with hydrogen gas, H2. Magnesium (immediately below beryllium in the periodic table) does not do this.
