The properties of berrylium the first member of the alkaline earth metal, differ from the rest of the member. Its is mainly because of 

• Its small size and high polarizing power. 

• Relatively high electro negativity and ionization energy as compared to other members. 

• Absence of vacant d – orbitals in its valence shell.
