Question

Beryllium forms a compound with chlorine that has the empirical formula BeCI2. The compound does not dissolve in water. how would you determine whether it is an ionic compound? A. heat a sample of BeCI2 until it is melted. Test the conductivity of molten BcCI2. B. Take a sample of BcC12 at room temperature. Test the conductivity of solid BeCl2. C. heat a sample of BeCI2 until is has vaporized. Test the conductivity of gaseous BeCI2. D. Cool a sample of BeCI2 to below -200 degree C. Test the conductivity of cold BcCI2.

Explanation / Answer

When it is not dissolved in water then we melt it and and then test conductivity .

so the correct answer is

A. Heat the sample of BeCl2 until it is melted. Test the conductivity of molten BeCl2 .
