JEE Main2015ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
Molecule AB has a bond length of 1.617 Å and a dipole moment of 0.38 D. The fractional charge on each atom(absolute magnitude) is: ( e 0 = 4.802 × 10 - 10 e s u )
Options
- A0.5
- B0.05
- C0
- D1.0
Correct answer
B. 0.05
Step-by-step solution
Assuming complete separation of charges (i.e. +e, -e on two ends) μ = 4.802 × 10 - 10 e s u × 1.617 × 10 - 8 c m = 7.76 × 10 - 18 e s u . c m = 7.76 D Fractional charge on dipole ends = 0.38 7.76 ≅ 0.05
