Question

Identify the correct options for solid $B{e}_{2}C{l}_4$

Answer 1

The structure of $BeC{l}_4$ is-



$B{e}_{2}C{l}_4$ forms two $3c-4e$ bridge bonds. The bridge bond involves here are of $4$ electrons, as two from covalent bond and two from co-ordinate bond from $Cl$ to $Be$. Such that each $Be$ atoms has three bonds around each other which result $s{p}^2$ hybridization and planar geometry.
