Post by: billybo on March 05, 2006, 12:46:00 PM

Can anyone please tell me what name the compound BeH3 is and its lewis structure and any other valuable information or a website. Thanks

Are you sure it's BeH₃ and not BH₃?

The latter is well-known borane; the former is a complex whose name should be monoberyllium(VII) trihydride.

Use the MSDS blocks in the bottom left of your screen. Try the other blocks as well.

Does BH3 exist as a dimer?

I think the B-H-B bridge bond not only stabilise the molecule, but also help make up the electron deficient nature of the Boron atom.
