Explain sp-hybridisation in `BeCl_2` molecule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electronic configuration of `Be:`
[Ground state]
Electronic configuration fo Be in excited state:

One 2S and One 2P orbital of Beryllium undergoes SP hybridisation giving rise to two SP hybrid orbitals of same energy. Which has linear structure. Two SP hybrid orbitals of Beryllium overlaps with 2P orbital of Chlorine to form two Be-Cl covalent bonds with a bondd angle of `180^(@0`.
