Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular formula given seems to be a typographical error, but assuming the molecule is BeH2 (beryllium hydride), which is a simple diatomic molecule, the VSEPR theory predicts a linear shape due to the two electron groups (the two hydrogen atoms) bonding around the central beryllium atom, with no lone pairs on the beryllium.
