Chapter 6, Problem 6.49QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The octet rule for Beryllium in Beryllium chloride, formation of octet around Beryllium and plausible structure has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Octet Rule:

The octet rule states that the noble gas electron configuration is attained by the element, when the element either loses or gains or shares its atoms. The formulas for the compounds that contain specific elements can be predicted with the help of Octet rule. The octet rule holds good for those compounds that are made of elements present in second period and hence the important study on organic compounds that mainly consists of Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen atoms can be done with the help of Octet rule. The loss gain or sharing electrons of particular atom is dependent on properties of atoms that are determined by the number of subatomic particles inside in the atom.

Resonance:

Resonance is a method to relating to describe about delocalized electrons inside certain molecules or polyatomic ions where the Lewis structure can’t be expressed. A molecule or ion containing delocalized electrons can be represented by using several similar structures such structures are called as resonance structures or canonical structures.

The delocalization of electron lowers the potential energy of the substance and making it more stable than any of the contributing structures. The variation in the potential energy of the actual structure and that of resemblance structure with lowest potential energy is known as resonance energy or delocalization energy.
