Question

hey thnks for answering my qns.(how to draw the molecular orbital diagram for BeF2)
but i wanted a MO diagram. u gave me the lewis structure instead.

Answer 1

16 electrons. Isoelectronic with CO2. Look up the molecular orbital diagram for CO2, but remember that because F is much more electronegative than B, orbitals which are labelled as pi-bonding between O and C will in your case be considered as residing mainly in F-localised p-orbitals.
