  2. B \left(NH_4\right)_2 BeF_4
  3. C \left(NH_4\right)\left(BeF_3\right)
  4. D \left(NH_4\right)_2\left(Be_2 F_6\right)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \left(NH_4\right)_2 BeF_4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{array}{l} BeO+2 NH_3+4 HF \rightarrow\left(NH_4\right)_2 BeF_4+H_2 O \\ \left(NH_4\right)_2 BeF_4 \xrightarrow{\Delta} BeF_2+NH_4 F \end{array}
