Among the following metal chlorides , the one which is soluble in CH2Cl2 (DCM) is :
BeCl2
MgCl2
CaCl2
SrCl2
As we learnt ,
Action of halogens with alkali metals -
Form ionic halides, which are highly soluble in water except LiF
- wherein
M=Alkali Metal
X=Halides
BeCl2 is covalent in nature hence it is soluble in organic solvents like EtOH, DCM etc.
Therefore, option(1) is correct.
