Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BeCl2 (Beryllium dichloride) has a total of 2 single bonds connecting the central Be atom to two Cl atoms, and Be has no lone pairs due to its electron configuration and the fact that it achieves stability by forming two single bonds, filling its valence shell.
