PRESENTATION
BASIC STRUCTURE
OF BERYLLIUM
NITRATE
BERYLLIUM
Beryllium was first discovered by
Abbé René-Just Hauy in 1798.
Beryllium is a Block S, Group 2,
Period 2 element
Electronic Configuration is [He] 2s2
Beryllium atom has a radius of 111.3.pm and
it's Van der Waals radius is 200.pm
ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOUR
OF BERYLLIUM
Be is extermly small and small highly
charged ions tend to form covalent
compounds.
Be has a comparatively high electro
negativity
Be is in the second row of the periodic table
and the outer shell can hold a maximum of 8
electrons.
Be can form a maximum of 4 conventional
electron pair bonds.
BERYLLIUM NITRATE

IUPAC Name: Beryllium dinitrate
Structure of Beryllium nitrate
PREPARATION
Nitrates of the metals can be prepared in
solution and can be crystallized as hydrated
salts by reaction of HNO3 with carbonates,
oxides or hydroxides.
Anhydrous nitrates can be prepared using
liquid dinitrogen tetroxide and ethyl acetate.
Be is unusual in that it forms a basic nitrate
in addition to the normal salt.
REACTION INVOLVED

Basic Beryllium
[Be4O(NO3)6] Nitrate
Basic Beryllium nitrate is covalent has an
unusual structure.
BE atoms are located at the corners of a
tetrahedron.
Withsix NO3- groups
along the six edges of the
tetrahedon,and (basic)
oxygen at the centre.
NO3- act as bidentate
ligands.
The Be atom electron configuration:
1s22s2
In the ground state, there are no unpaired electrons
(the Be atom is incapable of forming a covalent
bond with a fluorine atom
However, the Be atom could obtain an unpaired
electron by promoting an electron from the 2s
orbital to the 2p orbital:
This would actually result in two unpaired
electrons, one in a 2s orbital and another in a 2p
orbital
The Be atom can now form two covalent bonds with
fluorine atoms
We would not expect these bonds to be identical
(one is with a 2s electron orbital, the other is with
a 2p electron orbital)
USES
Beryllium
nitrate trihydrate is commonly
used to make mantles for gas lamps.
Beryllium
nitrate trihydrate also can be
used as chemical reagent and in
nanoparticles and in nanopowder
