What is the hybridization of Be in BeH2?

Answers

Answered by ranima78

Answer:

Beryllium in BeH2 has sp hybridization which accounts for the linear molecular geometry and 180 degree bond angle.

Explanation:

Answered by DARKIMPERIAL

Answer:

A beryllium hydride (BeH2) molecule is predicted to be linear by VSEPR. The beryllium atom contains only paired electrons, so it must also undergo hybridization. One of the 2s electrons is first promoted to an empty 2p orbital. The occupied orbitals are then hybridized, and the result is a pair of sp hybrid orbitals.
