Question

When chloro - bridged dimeric form of beryllium chloride is heated at 1200${}^{\circ }$C, then in the product is formed, hybridization of central atom & shape of molecule is

• A. sp² , angular
• B. sp³, pyramidal
• C. sp, linear
• D. sp², triangular shape

Answer 1

The correct option is C

sp, linear

It becomes monomer above 1200${}^{\circ }$C. The monomer is a linear molecule with $sp$ hybridization.
