The correct order of electronegativity of hybrid orbitals of carbon is:

1. sp > sp² < sp³             

2. sp > sp² > sp³

3. sp < sp² > sp³             

4. sp < sp² < sp³

${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ has a net dipole moment while
\(BeF_2\) has zero dipole moment because :

2. Be is more electronegative than oxygen. 

3. ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ $$ molecule is linear and \(BeF_2\) is bent.

4. ${\mathrm{BeF}}_2$ molecule is linear and ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$ is bent.
