Question
What is the structure of $\mathrm{BeCl}_2$ molecule in gaseous and solid state?
✓
Answer
In solid state, it exits in polymeric chain structure in which each Be atom is surrounded by 4 Cl atoms. 2 Cl atoms through covalent bonds and other 2Cl atoms through coordinate bonds and give bridge structure.
