  1. A \( \mathrm{BeCl}_{2} \)
  2. B \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \)
  3. C \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
  4. D \( B F_{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)

\( \mathrm{BeCl}_{2} \) and \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) have linear geometry and \( \mathrm{BF}_{3} \) has triangular planar geometry with zero dipole moment.
