Beryllium is 2nd group, in 2nd group the basic character increases down the group as 2nd group element react with water 5o give hydroxides
As beryllium belongs to 2nd group & 2nd group element react with water to form corresponding hydroxides &their reactivity increases down the group
this is due to small size and high ionization energy beryllium(Be)
