Question

Identify the correct options about $B e C l_{2}$

Moderate

A

In solid state, $B e C l_{2}$ is four coordinate with tetrahedral geometry surrounding Be
B

In vapour phase, $B e C l_{2}$ exist as dimer with planar structure
C

In gaseous state, Be is two coordinate with linear structure
D

$B e C l_{2}$ is highly soluble in water indicates its ionic nature

Solution

Though $B e C l_{2}$ is covalent, it is soluble in water due to high hydration energy of $B e^{2 +}$ ion.
