The element from group 2 is beryllium. Be (OH)2 is amphoteric. It reacts with both acids and bases. It reacts with acid to form beryllium chloride and it reacts with base to form beryllate ion which is soluble in sodium hydroxide. The reaction is shown below.
Be (OH)2+2OH−→ [Be (OH)4]2−
Be (OH)2+2HCl→BeCl2+2H2O
