(I) Be has a smaller atomic radius compared to Mg, in a group atomic radius increases.
(II) Be has higher ionization enthalpy than Al due to fully filled s-block orbital of Be.
(III) Charge/radius ratio of Be is greater than that of Al, due to Be being small.
(IV) Only Al form mainly covalent compounds, Be forms ionic compounds.

(I), (II), and (IV) are correct.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.
