`H_2O` is dipolar, whereas `BeF_2` is not. It is because:-

A

`EN` of `F gtEN` of `O`

B

`H_(2)O` involes H-bonding whereas `BeF_(2)` is a 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
Dipole moment cancels each other in `BeF_(2)` because of linear shape and thus it is non polar whereas `H_(2)O` is V-shape and is polar
