question 4
1 pts
the bef₂ molecule adopts a structure in which the two pairs of electrons, which comprise the two bonds, are as far apart as possible
bent
tetrahedral
linear
trigonal pyramidal
trigonal planar
For Question 3, VSEPR theory is based on minimizing electron - pair repulsions to predict molecular geometry. For Question 4, in BeF₂, the central beryllium atom has two bonding pairs and no lone pairs. According to VSEPR, two electron - pair groups arrange themselves to be 180° apart, resulting in a linear structure.
