Pick up the incorrect statement.
Options
- ADipole moment of ammonia is due to orbital dipole and resultant dipole in the same direction.
- BIn BF ₃ bond dipoles are higher but dipole moment is zero.
- CDipole moment is a vector quantity.
- DO ₂ and H ₂ show bond dipole due to polarisation.
Correct answer
D. O ₂ and H ₂ show bond dipole due to polarisation.
Step-by-step solution
O ₂ and H ₂ do not show bond dipole as they are homoatomic molecules, hence, they are non-polar.
