Question 22: Explain why BeH2 molecule has a zero dipole moment although the Be–H bonds are polar.
Answer:
The molecule with symmetrical and linear geometries have zero dipole moment because they are vector in nature and the dipole of different bonds cancel with one another and in a unsymmetrical molecule and bent geometries, the geometries have specific dipole moment because the bond polarities do not cancel each other.
The Lewis structure for BeH2 is as follows:

Since there is no lone pair at the central atom (Be) and there are two bond pairs, BeH2 is of the type AB2. It has a linear structure.

Dipole moments of each H–Be bond are equal and are in opposite directions. Therefore, they nullify each other. Hence, BeH2 molecule has zero dipole moment.
While in Be---H , dipole moment of Be & H are not equal & they donot nullify each other.hence has a specific dipole moment.

can i get all the important questions of 11 th chemistry please......
I was helpful. But you know what it can be modified and thus a better answer can be obtained.Hope for the best.
