1.	What is the hybrid state of BeCl_(2) in the vapour state ? What will be the change in hybrid state of BeCl_(2) in the solid state ?
Answer» Solution :In the vapour state at high temperature (1200 K) , Be is SP-hybridized and hence `BeCl_(2)` in linear . In the solid state , `BeCl_(2)` is polymeric. In this structure , each Be has two covalent and two coordinate BONDS . Therefore , in the solid state . Be has `sp^(3)`-HYBRIDIZATION .
