The molecular geometry of the BeCl₂ molecule is __________, and this molecule is __________. A)linear, nonpolar B)linear, polar C)bent, nonpolar D)bent, polar E)trigonal planar, polar

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The BeCl2 molecule has a linear geometry because beryllium forms two bonds with chlorine atoms and has no lone pairs, resulting in a 180-degree bond angle. The molecule is nonpolar because the dipoles cancel out due to the symmetrical linear shape.
