Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The compound that does not have a bent shape is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The molecular shape of a molecule is determined via a model referred as valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) model. According to this model, in a molecule, the atoms and the lone pairs around the central atom are arranged in such a manner that minimizes the repulsion.

Answer to Problem 9STP
The compound that does not have a bent shape is
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: The
The bonding in
Therefore, each hydrogen atom is attached with beryllium atom via single bond. There is no lone pair of electrons. Therefore, the shape of
Therefore, correct option is option (A).
Reason for incorrect option: The compound
The compound
The compound
