Question

Dipole moment of Bef2 is zero why

Answer 1

Answer:

The dipole moment of BeF₂ is zero.

Explanation:

The reason for this zero dipole moment is,the two equal bond dipoles point in opposite directions and cancel the effect of each other.

Answer 2

The dipole moment of $BeF_2$ is zero due to opposite dipoles.

• The dipole moment of a species determines its polarity.
• $BeF_2$ possesses a linear structure. So, the dipole moment acting from B to more electronegative F atom is in the opposite direction. These opposite moments cancel out each other and give the resultant dipole moment zero.
• That's why the dipole moment of $BeF_2$ is zero.
