Comment on the structure of beryllium chloride |
Answer» Solution :Beryllium CHLORIDE has a chain structure in the solid state due to the formation of coordinate bond between Cl and Be of DIFFERENT molecules. Hybridisation of Be in it is sp. In vapour phase `BeCl_(2)` tends to form a chloro-bridged DIMER in which hybridisation of Be is `sp^(2)`.  At high temperatures (above 1200K) dimer is DISSOCIATED to form LINEAR monomer. In monomer hybridisation of Be is sp. `Cl-Be-Cl`. |
