NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The dipole moment of BeF2 is zero.
Reason (R): In BeF2, the two equal bond dipoles point in opposite directions and cancel each other out.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false.
