Decide which element probably forms a compound with chlorine that has a chemical formula most and least similar to the chemical formula of the compound formed by chlorine and beryllium.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Magnesium (Mg)

Explanation:

The reation between beryllium (Be) and chlorine (Cl2):

[tex]Be + Cl_2 \longrightarrow BeCl_2[/tex]

The elements that may form a compound with a similar  formula of the BeCl2 are some of the other members of the Group II of the periodic table.

One example of this is the reaction of chlorine with magnesium:

[tex]Mg + Cl_2 \longrightarrow MgCl_2[/tex]
