What does the dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule depend on?

Options

  1. AOnly the spatial arrangement of bonds
  2. BOnly the individual dipole moments of bonds
  3. CThe spatial arrangement of bonds and individual dipole moments of bonds
  4. DThe number of atoms in the molecule

Correct answer

C. The spatial arrangement of bonds and individual dipole moments of bonds

Step-by-step solution

The dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule depends on both the spatial arrangement of bonds and the individual dipole moments of bonds.
