It is a linear molecule, so it is symmetrical and one force would cancel the other out.

What is the compound name of BeH2?
Beryllium hydride.
What is the molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule?
linear
What is the chemical compound SnH2?
The compound SnH2 would be called either tin(II) hydride or stannous(II) hydride, but I'm not sure such a compound exists. The more common hydride of tin is tin(IV) hydride which is H2Sn, or SnH2.
Is NAH a covalent hydride?
No this is an ionic hydride, with Na+ and H-
What is the the ionic compound for sodium hydride?
Sodium hydride's formula is NaH.
What molecule or ion have a linear shape?
For example nitric oxide (NO) and beryllium hydride (BeH2) have linear molecules.
What is the compound name of BeH2?
Beryllium hydride.
Is Beryllium compound element or mixture?
Yes. It is the compound of the elements Beryllium and fluorine.
What is the molecular shape of a magnesium hydride molecule?
linear
Is the Hydrogen molecule 'H2' a hydride?
The H2 molecule is not usually considered a hydride; that term is usually restricted to compounds of hydrogen with at least one element that is less electronegative than hydrogen itself.
Is GeH2 an Interstitial hydride?
No. GeH2 is a methylene analog and is not well characterised. It has been stabilised in complexes and this idicates that it is a covaent molecule. The best characterised hydride of Germanium is GeH4 germane, and related GenH2n+2 alkane analogs , where n=2 - 5. these ar all covalent molecules.
Does beryllium react with cold water?
Be (beryllium) does not react with water , steam or oxygen even at red heat. because it has a strong resistant layer of oxide on it's surface (impenetrable coating)which lower it's reactivity.
Why it is likely bond angle for selenium hydride?
If the question is "What is the likely bond angle for selenium hydride," then the answer is 105 degrees, just like a water molecule.
Is carbon tetra-hydride a compound or molecule?
Carbon tetra hydride is another name of Methane CH4, it is a compound which exists in molecular form.
What is the ionic compound name for MgI2?
MgI2 is also known as Magnesium Iodide. This is a molecule of magnesium that is bonded to two molecules of iodine.
What is the bond angle of beryllium hydride?
About this type of question: My answer is that beryllium is small in size. So, the charge density (charge/radius) is extremely high. So, the force of attraction between the electrons in orbitals and proton in nucleus is very strong. When beryllium is encountered with the other elements (i.e. chlorine), the electrons cannot loss to environment(due to strong force of attraction), but the beryllium will be polarised to become positively charge and hence attract the electron from other elements to form the covalent compound (BeCl2 which is Cl-Be-Cl). So the beryllium hydride is a polar covalently bonded compound.
What is beryllium's chemical and physical interest?
Beryllium is used as components for missiles and rockets. Windows for X-ray tubes, brazing material for zirconium alloys, beryllium bronzes, beryllium alloys for welding, nuclear applications as reflector, beryllium-copper alloys for transformers and electrotechnical uses, Ra (Am, Pu, Po)-Be source of neutrons, alloys for aviation industry, alloys for missiles, alloy for watches components (glucydur), nuclear weapons and many other uses. Beryllium oxide: electric insulator but thermal conductor, ceramics for high temperatures, nuclear applications as neutrons reflector, etc. Beryllium fluoride was used in the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. Beryllium nitride is an important ceramic. Beryllium chloride is a catalyst in organic chemistry. Beryllium phosphide is a semiconductor. Beryllium hydride is a component of some rocket fuels. Emerald, aquamarine and alexandrite are natural gemstones with beryllium.
