Beryllium chloride Lewis structure

A few examples will illustrate how VSEPR is used to predict molecular geometry. Beryllium chloride, BeCl, has the Lewis structure... 

As we saw in Section 18.1, the small size and relatively high electronegativity of the beryllium atom causes its bonds to be more covalent than is usual for a metal. For example, beryllium chloride with the Lewis structure... 

The Lewis structure of beryllium chloride in the gaseous state is... 

Molten beryllium chloride reacts with chloride ion from molten NaCl to form the BeCl4 ion, in which the Be atom attains an octet. Show the net ionic reaction with Lewis structures. 

AB2, Ns = 2 beryllium chloride (BeCl2). The Lewis structure of the molecule beryllium chloride is... 

Molecules with Electron-Deficient Atoms Gaseous molecules containing either beryllium or boron as the central atom are often electron deficient they have fewer than eight electrons around the central atom. The Lewis structures, with formal charges, of gaseous beryllium chloride and boron trifluoride are... 

Lewis structure and molecular shape of beryllium chloride... 

Consider the gaseous beryllium chloride molecule, BeCl2(g) The Lewis structure of the molecule shows there are only two electron pairs (two electron domains) in the valence shell of the beryllium atom (Figure 4-44). These two pairs of electrons try to separate as far as possible from each other so as to minimize electron repulsion. Thus, the beryllium chloride molecule adopts a linear shape with a bond angle of 180°, because the electron pairs are ferthest apart when they are on opposite sides of the beryllium atom.
