    \[{{H}_{2}}O\]is dipolar, whereas\[Be{{F}_{2}}\] is not. It is because

    A)  The electronegativity of F is greater than that of O

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}O\]involves hydrogen bonding whereas \[Be{{F}_{2}}\]is a discrete molecule

    C)  \[{{H}_{2}}O\]is linear and\[Be{{F}_{2}}\]is angular

    D) \[{{H}_{2}}O\] is angular and\[Be{{F}_{2}}\]is linear

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     In a linear symmetrical molecule like \[Be{{F}_{2}},\] bond angle between three atoms is\[{{180}^{o}}\], hence the polarity due to one bond is cancelled by the equal polarity due to other bond, while it is not so in the case of angular molecules like\[{{H}_{2}}O.\]
