Question
Chapter 9.9, Problem 9PE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Lewis structure of BeF2 has to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Electron dot structure also known as Lewis dot structure represents the number of valence electrons of an atom or constituent atoms bonded in a molecule.  Each dot corresponds to one electron.

An orbital can occupy maximum of two electrons.
