Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B BeO
In metals moving down the group metallic character increases, so basic nature increases hence most acidic will be BeO as Be is least metallic in group 2 elements.
BeO is most acidic in nature as the acidity of oxides decreases with increases in the electropositive character of the central atom.
