Alkoxides of beryllium [Be(OR)_(2)]_(6) usually have associated strutures with both mu_(2) - bridging and terminal OR groups. For example [Be(OCH_(3))_(2)]_(6) is a high polymer insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents. On the other hand, tertiary - butoxy derivative is less condensed being only a trimer [Be(O-t-Bu)_(2)]_(3) The vapour phase, BeCI_(2) is

1.	Alkoxides of beryllium [Be(OR)_(2)]_(6) usually have associated strutures with both mu_(2) - bridging and terminal OR groups. For example [Be(OCH_(3))_(2)]_(6) is a high polymer insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents. On the other hand, tertiary - butoxy derivative is less condensed being only a trimer [Be(O-t-Bu)_(2)]_(3) The vapour phase, BeCI_(2) is
Answer» two coordinate with lienar STRUCTURE three coordinate with PLANAR triangular structure four coordinate with regular tetrahedral structure four coordinate with irregular tetrahedral POLYMERIC structure Solution :In vapour state `BeCI_(2)` is three coordinate with plannar triangular structure
