  • has a net dipole moment, while <img alt="BeF_{2}" src="https://entrancecorner.oncodecogs.com/gif.latex?BeF_%7B2

H_{2}O has a net dipole moment, while BeF_{2} has zero dipole moment, because:

Option: 1

H_{2}O molecule is linear while BeF_{2} is bent.


Option: 2

BeF_{2} molecule is linear while H_{2}O is bent.


Option: 3

Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen.


Option: 4

Be is more electronegative than oxygen.

As we have learnt,

The structure of H_{2}O and BeF_{2} are:

By seeing the bond angle we can say that BeF_{2} molecule is linear while H_{2}O is bent. Moreover water molecule is sp^{3} hybridised and BeF_{2} is sp hybridised.
Hence, option number (2) is correct .
