Question

State True or False.

$Be{F}_2$ containing dipole moment while $H_{2}O$ having zero dipole moment.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The given statement is false.
$Be{F}_2$ has zero dipole moment while $H_{2}O$ has non zero dipole moment.
$Be{F}_2$ has linear geometry in which individual bond dipoles cancel each other. Hence, the molecule is non polar with zero dipole moment.
$H_{2}O$ has bent or V shaped or angular geometry in which individual bond dipoles do not cancel each other. Hence, the molecule is polar with non zero dipole moment.
