Why are beryllium halides polymeric in nature ? |
| Answer» SOLUTION :Beryllium chloride is an ELECTRON deficient MOLECULE since Be has only two covalent bonds and hence only four electrons in the valence shell. Therefore , to complete its octet , it can accept two electron pairs from Cl atoms of neighbouring MOLECULES forming polymeric structure . THUS , beryllium chloride has polymeric structure due to its electron deficient nature . | |
