BeMe2 rapidly polymerizes to form a linear chain of tetrahedral Be atoms. The same process does not occur for BeBut2 due to steric hindrance and the shape at Be is linear. What sort of hybridization is present in each case?
A) BeMe2 is sp2 hybridized and BeBut2 is sp hybridized.
B) BeMe2is sp3 hybridized and BeBut2 is sp hybridized.
C) BeMe2is sp3 hybridized and BeBut2 is sp2 hybridized.
D) BeMe2is sp hybridized and BeBut2 is sp3 hybridized.
