Its more a matter of whether the bond has a smaller angle than bonds in other very similar compounds. A smaller angle than expected is said to cause strain- i.e. it breaks more easily. Examples from organic chemistry include cyclo alkanes with bond angles less than tetrahedral.

Why beryllium chloride has a linear shape while water molecule has angular shape?

The linear shape of beryllium chloride is due to the fact that it has a small central atom relative to the size of the chlorine atoms. This results in a small bond angle and a linear shape. The angular shape of water molecule is due to the fact that it has a large central atom relative to the size of the hydrogen atoms. This results in a large bond angle and an angular shape.


Does the angle have an affect on the pendulum?

Yes. The derivation of the simple formula for the period of the pendulum requires the angle, theta (in radians) to be small so that sin(theta) and theta are approximately equal. There are more exact formulae, though.

Why sin angle equal to angle if the angle is very small?

The sine is almost equal to the angle, in case the angle is expressed in radians. Please make a picture of a circle, put a point on the circle at a small angle (say, 10 degrees or less), then draw the sine (a vertical line from the x-axis up to your point) for a small angle. You will see that the arc of the circle has almost the same length as the vertical line you drew. The arc is the angle; the vertical line is the sine.
