Question

H2O is polar, whereas BeF2 is not. It is because
(a) The electronegativity of F is greater than that of O
(b) H2O involves hydrogen bonding whereas BeF2 is a discrete molecules
(c) H2O is linear and BeF2 is angular
(d) H2O is angular and BeF2 is linear.

Answer 1

answer option (d)H2O is angular and BeF2 is linear.

in BeF2 the dipole moment is zero as BeF2 is linear is shape. whereas H2O has a net dipole moment which is caused due to the bond moment and the lone pair moment . therefore H2O is polar whereas BeF2 is not.

Answer 2

D)
