Detailed Solution

The geometry of BeF2 molecule is linear and the hybridization is sp. In BeF2 molecule, both the dipoles act in opposite directions by bond angle180° . So, the net dipole moment is zero. Water molecule has a net dipole moment this is because the geometry of water molecule is bent or angular with the bond angle 104.5° .Hence, the dipoles acts in water are not cancelled out like BeF2 . Let us see the diagrams in the below.
