OtherCpds =Beryllium iodide is the
chemical compound with the formula BeI2. It is veryhygroscopic and reacts violently withwater , forminghydroiodic acid .Reactions
Beryllium iodide can be prepared by reacting
beryllium metal with elementaliodine at temperatures of 500°C to 700°C::Be + I2 → BeI2Beryllium iodide is also formed when
beryllium carbide withhydrogen iodide in thegas phase::Be2C + 4 HI → 2 BeI2 + CH4The iodine in beryllium iodide is easily replaced with the other halogens; it reacts with
fluorine givingberyllium fluoride and fluorides of iodine, withchlorine givingberyllium fluoride , and withbromine givingberyllium bromide . The solid and vapor are bothflammable in air.References
