What is the hybridisation of \(\mathrm{Be}\) in \(\mathrm{BeF}_2\) molecule?

  1. A \(d s p^2\)
  2. B \(s p^2 d\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{sp}\)
  4. D \(s p^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{sp}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hybridisation state of \(\mathrm{Be}\) in \(\mathrm{BeF}_2\) is \(s p\). \(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{F}-\mathrm{Be}-\mathrm{F} \\ & \mathrm{H}=\frac{1}{2}(V+M-C+A) \\ &=\frac{1}{2}(2+2-0+0)=2(s p) \end{aligned}\) where, \(V=\) number of valence electrons of \(\mathrm{Be}=2\)…
