H(2)O is depolar, wheras BeF(2) is not. ...

`H_(2)O` is depolar, wheras `BeF_(2)` is not. it because

A

the electronegativity of `F` is greater than `O`

B

`H_(2)O` involves `H-` bonding, whereas `BeF_(2)` is discrete molecule

C

`H_(2)O` is linear, and `BeF_(2)` is angular

D

`H_(2)O` is angular, and `BeF_(2)` is linear

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`BeF_(2)` is linear ( `sp-` hybridization), and `H_(2)O` is angular (`sp^(3)-` hybridization).
