1.	Some of the Group 2 metal halides are covalent and soluble in organic solvents . Among the following metal halides , the one which is soluble in ethanol is
Answer» `BeCl_(2)` `MgCl_(2)` `CaCl_(2)` `SrCl_(2)` Solution :Due to small size , high IONIZATION enthalpy of Be , `BeCl_(2)` is covalent and hence most soluble in ORGANIC SOLVENTS such as ethanol .
