The structures of beryllium chloride in solid state and vapour phase, are :

  1. Chain in both
  2. Chain and dimer, respectively
  3. Linear in both
  4. Dimer and Linear, respectively

Answer

(2) Chain and dimer, respectively

Solution

As per NCERT, beryllium chloride has a chain structure in the solid state (each Be bridged to its neighbours through two Cl atoms).

In the vapour phase BeCl2 tends to form a chloro-bridged dimer, which dissociates into the linear monomer at high temperatures of the order of 1200 K.

Solid: chain; vapour: dimer.

Answer: (2)
