1.	A halide of Be(X) sublimes on heating and is a bad conductor of electricity in molten state. From its aqueous solution it is diffucult to obtain anhydrous salt. This halide of berylium (X) is obtained by heating berylium oxide with carbon tetrachloride at 800^(@)C. This halide of berylium forms a complex of the M_(2)[BeX_(4)] What is the compound (X)
Answer» `BeBr_(2)` `BeF_(2)` `BeCI_(2)` any of these Solution :Among the HALIDES of Be . `BeCI_(2)` is more volatile and sublimises on heating. It is a covalent compound so it cannot CONDUCT electricity in molten state as it does not contain any ions in molten state `2BeO + C CI_(4) overset"(800^(@)C)rarr 2BeCI_(2) + CO_(2)`
