Which of the following molecule is linear?

A

`BeCl_2`

B

`H_2O`

C

`SO_2`

D

`CH_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`SN` of `Be` in `BeCl_2` is `2+0=2` (linear), `SN` of `O` in `H_2O` is `2+2=4` (angular), `SN` of `S` in `SO_2` is `2+1=3` (angular), and `SN` of `C` in `CH_4` is `4+0=4` (tetrahedral).
