(II) Be has higher ionization enthalpy than $\mathrm{Al}$.
(III) Charge/radius ratio of Be is greater than that of Al:
(IV) Both Be and Al form mainly covalent compounds.
Correct Option: 1
Solution:
Charge/ radius ratio of Be and Al is same because of diagonal relationship. Remaining statements are correct.
