BeOBeO reacts with HFHF in presence of ammonia to give \left[A\right]whichonthermaldecompositionproduces[B]which on thermal decomposition produces \left[B\right] and ammonium fluoride. Oxidation state of Bein[A]isBe in \left[A\right] is

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

BeOonreactionwithon reaction withHFinthepresenceofammonia,in the presence of ammonia,{\left({NH}_{4}\right)}_{2}{BeF}_{4} is formed which on heating forms BeF2{BeF}_{2} along with ammonium fluoride.

BeO+2NH3+4HF→(NH4)2BeF4+H2OBeO + 2{NH}_{3} + 4HF \to {\left({NH}_{4}\right)}_{2}{BeF}_{4} + {H}_{2}O

Compound AA, is (NH4)2BeF4{\left({NH}_{4}\right)}_{2}{BeF}_{4}

(NH4)2BeF4→heatBeF2+2NH4F{\left({NH}_{4}\right)}_{2}{BeF}_{4}\overset{heat}{\to}{BeF}_{2} + 2{NH}_{4}F

Compound B is BeF2{BeF}_{2}

In (NH4)2BeF4{\left({NH}_{4}\right)}_{2}{BeF}_{4} the oxidation state of BeBe is +2+ 2.
