NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Which of the following molecules does not exhibit dipole moment? (i) CCl ₄ (ii) CO ₂ (iii) NH ₃ (iv) CHCl ₃ (v) H ₂ O (vi) CH ₃- O - CH ₃
Options
- A(ii), (v), (iv)
- B(i), (iii), (vi)
- C(i), (ii)
- D(iii), (iv), (vi)
Correct answer
C. (i), (ii)
Step-by-step solution
Dipole moments cancel out reach other in CCl ₄ and CO ₂ resulting in net dipole moment as zero because these are symmetrical structures.
