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

A

`H_2O` involves hydrogen bonding whereas `BeF_2` is discrete molecule

B

`H_2O` is linear and `BeF_2` is angular

C

`H_2O` is angular and `BeF_2` is linear

D

The electronegativity of F is greater than that of

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `BeF_2` dipole moment is zero because of its linear shape while water has net dipole moment because of its angular shape
`H_2O` has angular structure with bond angle `105^@` while `BeF_2` is a linear molecule.
