Why don't we draw double bonds between the Be atom and the Cl atoms in BeCl2?
A) There aren't enough electrons.
B) That would give positive formal charges to the chlorine atoms and a negative formal charge to the beryllium atom.
C) That would result in more than eight electrons around each chlorine atom.
D) That would result in the formal charges not adding up to zero.
E) That would result in more than eight electrons around beryllium.
