Why are halides of beryllium polymeric?

Answers

Answered by Anonymous

All halides of Be are covalent and electron deficient. Because of this, they are unstable. So, in order to attain stability they polymerise to make long chains. They do this by forming coordinate bonds (dative covalent bonds) between lone pairs on halide atoms and adjacent beryllium atoms.

amritjordh: Plzz give me a short answer of this question

Anonymous: halides of Be are electron deficient as their octets are incomplete. Therefore, to complete their octets, the halides polymerize

amritjordh: thanks dear
