Why is Beryllium chloride is a poor electrical conductor when molten while the next Group 2 chloride magnesium chloride is a good electrical conductor when molten?
Beryllium has a higher charge density and polarising power due to its relatively small ionic radius as compared to Magnesium. As such, the electron cloud of Chlorine is distorted and there is a high degree of covalent character in the ionic bond as compared to Magnesium Chloride. This means that there are hardly any free delocalised electrons in Beryllium Chloride to act as mobile charge carriers when molten, and hence the poor electrical conductivity.
