In Becl2 There Are Only 4 Electrons In The Valence Shell Of Be. How Does This Qualify For An Octet?

I was studying VSEPR theory, there i got this doubt. Also for BF3, PCl5, SF4, ClF3 and XeF2. The last four have more than 8 electrons... pls guide me... thank you...

I'd give up chemistry if I were you.

As my answer to your last question, try looking here instead of asking for one fact at a time

Hey guys... actually becl2 is suppose to make ionic bond instead of covalent bond... but since be has very small size so it has large electronegetivity... so it pulls the elctrons back... and because of this the result is covalent bond...

Sachin did you read Eddies reply, and his link giving answers to all your questions?

[Sachin114]

Yes i read his reply. And i am watchin the videos. They are really helpful...

People appreciate if you thank them or interact Sachin. It lets people know you are reading their suggestions.
