Statement (A) CO ₂ has no dipole moment, whereas SO ₂ and H ₂ O have dipole moment. Statement (B) SnCl ₂ is ionic, whereas SnCl ₄ is covalent. Which of the following is correct?

Options

  1. ABoth (A) and (B) are not correct
  2. B(A) is correct but (B) is not correct
  3. CBoth (A) and (B) are correct
  4. D(A) is not correct but (B) is correct

Correct answer

C. Both (A) and (B) are correct

Step-by-step solution

CO ₂ is non-polar where as SO ₂ and H ₂ O are polar. SnCl ₂ is ionic in aqueous medium whereas SnCl ₄ is covalent due to greater covalency of Sn.
