Question

"Be is not readily attacked by acids due to formation of oxide layer."
Answer whether the above statement is true or false.
If true enter 1, else enter 0.

Answer 1

$Be$ is not readily attacked by acids due to formation of oxide layer.

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 ${600}^{o}C$.

$2Be+O_2⟶2BeO$
