H2O is dipolar, whereas BeF2 is not. It is because :
  1. the electronegativity of F is greater than that of O
  2. H2O involves hydrogen bonding whereas BeF2 is a discrete molecule
  3. H2O is linear and BeF2 is angular
  4. H2O is angular and BeF2 is linear

Answer

(D) H 2 O is angular and BeF 2 is linear
