Question

question 13 (1 point) using the vsepr theory, predict that the shape of beryllium dihydride, beh2. bent linear regular tetrahedral triangular planar trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Beryllium dihydride ($BeH_2$) has a central beryllium atom with 2 bonding pairs and 0 lone - pairs. According to VSEPR theory, the electron - pair geometry and molecular geometry are linear as the bonding pairs are arranged to minimize repulsion at 180 degrees from each other.

Answer:

linear
