- Beryllium and magnesium, both in the 2A column of the periodic table, are
lightweight metals. Which would you expect to have the higher modulus of elasticity?
Explain, considering binding energy and atom radii and using appropriate sketches
of force versus interatomic spacing.
Solution:
The smaller Be electrons are held closer to the core held more tightly, giving a higher binding
energy.
Solución:
