H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} has a net dipole moment while BeF2\text{BeF}_2 has zero dipole moment because : (1) F is more electronegativity than oxygen (2) Be is more electronegativity than oxygen (3) H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} molecule is linear and BeF2\text{BeF}_2 is bent (4) BeF2\text{BeF}_2 molecule is linear and H2O\text{H}_2\text{O} is bent
