Question

why BeCl2 can easily Hydrolyzed ? explain

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

BeCl2 can be easily hydrolized because of the following resons –

– Due to its small size , Be forms covalent bond with Cl to form BeCl2.

– But in covalent bond too, Be is high electropositivity,hence Be have high polarizing power

– Thus BeCl2 molecule has partial ionic charecter and can dissolve in aqueous solution.

BeCl2 + 2H2O – Be(OH)2 + 2HCl

Thanks for asking questions......
