Question

In some reactions, Be behaves like a typical alkaline earth metal; in others, it does not. Complete and balance the following: (b)BeCl₂(I) + Cl⁻ (l; from moltenNaCl →In which reaction does Be behave like the other Group 2A(2) members?

Answer 1

The correct answer is BeCl_2(l)+2Cl^-(solvated)→BeCl_4^2-.

Evaluating be behavior to see :

how it differs from the other Group 2A (2) members.

In this reaction Be behaves like other alkaline earth metals

The complete equation can be given as

BeCl_2(l)+2Cl^-(solvated)→BeCl_4^2-

BeCl_2 tends to form a chloro bridged dimer in the vapour state, however at high temperatures of the order of 1200K, this dimer dissociates into the linear monomer.

BeCl_2 has a chain structure in its solid form. Each Be atom in this structure is surrounded by chlorine atoms, two of which are connected by conversion bonds and the remaining two by covalent coordinate connections. This chain structure is displayed.
