Be2Cl because the number get switched

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Binary compounds are compounds which are made up of only two types of different elements ,forexample : HCl, NaCl etc

Beryllium, Be, and chlorine, Ci, form a binary ionic compound:

Ratio of beryllium to chlorine atom = 1 : 2

If there are x atoms of beryllium, then there 2 x atoms of chlorine atoms in the ionic compound:

\(Be_xCl_{2x}=BeCl_2\)

The formula for the compound is  \(BeCl_2\)
