`H_(2)O` is depolar, wheras `BeF_(2)` is not. it becauseA. The electronegativity of `F` is greater than that of OB. `H_(2)O` involves hydrogen bending whereas `BeF_(2)` is a discrete moleculeC. `H_(2)O` is linear and `BeF_(2)` is angularD. `H_(2)O` is angular and `BeF_(2)` is linear

Answer» Correct Answer - d
In a linear symmertical molecule like `BeF_(2)` the bond angle between three atoms is `180^(@)` , hence the polarity due to one bond is cancelled by the equal polairity due to other bond. While it is not so in the case of angular molecules like `H_(2)O`.
