BeCl2

BeCl2

1. ELECTRONIC GEOMETRY

   • There are 16 valance electrons in the Lewis structure of BeCl2. It is made up of 2 Chlorine atoms that are joined to a central Beryllium atom by a single covalent bonds.

2. MOLECULAR GEOMETRY

   • Linear molecular geometry. Two electron pairs belonging to a divalent central atom will be most widely separated when the bond angle is 180°.

3. LEWIS STRUCTURE

4. STRUCTURE OF BeCl2

5. POLARITY

   • Although the bonds are polar, the entire molecule does not have one side that is more or less negative than another. The molecule is non-polar to each other and so the have little attraction.

6. HOW THE PRESENT/NON PRESENCE/NON-PRESENCE OF LONE PAIR AFFECTS ITS GEOMETRY?

   • There are no lone pair of electrons in BeCl4. Thus, this causes the pair to be further than each other which is 180° that brings the linear geometry molecule
