Atoms in molecules like to arrange themselves in alphabetical order. Therefore, the structure of beryllium fluoride is BeFF. It is linear because it is nice to write the letters on a straight line.

Is beryllium fluoride polar?

BeF2 is non-polar as it is (strangely) covalent in nature and as such, the molecule has a linear shape which produces a non-polar molecule.

What is the molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule?

The molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule is linear. Magnesium has a +2 charge, while hydride has a -1 charge, resulting in a linear molecular shape.


BeF2 polar or nonpolar?

The central atom is Be with 2 Fs on the sides of it. If you draw the Lewis structure, there are no lone pairs on the central atom, Be, which means the molecule is linear and therefore symmetrical. The dipole moments on the two Be-F bonds cancel and so the entire molecule has 0 charge.
