Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure

Question
CBSEENCH11005614
Wired Faculty App

Account for the bond angle of 180° in BeCl2 molecule?

Solution
Beryllium atom (4Be = 1s22s2) in excited state (1s2 2s1 2p) has two unpaired electrons. It undergoes sp hybridization, so the molecule is linear with bond angle of 180°.
