The dipole moment in BeF 2 is given as shown in the image, So the assertion and reason are correct, <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/a486386c12edcd5a979ad540d309404b-.png" />

Q. Assertion : The dipole moment in case of $B e F_{2}$ is zero.
Reason : The two equal bond dipoles point in opposite directions and cancel the effect of each other.

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

The dipole moment in $B e F_{2}$ is given as shown in the image, So the assertion and reason are correct,
