Beryllium has a relatively low density compared to other alkaline earth metals. What is the reason for this?
Lower atomic number
Smaller atomic size
Weaker metallic bonding
Fewer electrons in the valence shell
Beryllium's relatively low density is due to its smaller atomic size compared to other alkaline earth metals, resulting in a lower mass per unit volume.
