Question

Which of the following is a linear molecule? (A) BeCl 2 (B) H 2 O (C) SO 2 (D) CH 4

Cl - Be - Cl In BeCl 2, Be is s p - hybridised, hence it has linear structure. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/3857f7cf846c1481e3bac592a103de90-.png" />

Q. Which of the following is a linear molecule?

$B e C l_{2}$

$H_{2} O$

$S O_{2}$

$C H_{4}$

$Cl - B e - Cl$
In $B e C l_{2}, B e$ is $s p$ - hybridised, hence it has linear structure.
