Explain why BeH2 molecule has a zero dipole moment although the Be-H bonds are polar.

Question 1

Question 2

This is because BeH2 is a linear molecule and the two bond dipoles oriented at an angle of 180° neutralize each other. As a result, the net dipole moment of the molecule is zero.

H ←+ Be +→ H (←+ + +→), μ = 0
