Question

question 10 (1 point) using the vsepr theory, predict that the shape of beryllium dihydride, beh₂. bent linear regular tetrahedral triangular planar trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

VSEPR theory predicts molecular shapes based on the repulsion between electron - pairs around the central atom. In $BeH_2$, beryllium has 2 valence electrons and forms 2 bonding pairs with hydrogen atoms and has no lone pairs. The electron - pair geometry and molecular geometry are both linear to minimize electron - pair repulsions.

Answer:

B. linear
