JEE Main2014ChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular StructureActual
For which of the following molecule significant μ ≠ 0 ?
Options
- AOnly (a)
- B(a) and (b)
- COnly (c)
- D(c) and (d)
Correct answer
D. (c) and (d)
Step-by-step solution
In (C) and (D) the oxygen and sulphur are sp 3 hybridized, with 2 lone pairs. Thus the molecule is 3D, and has a dipole moment. (Net dipole outside the plane at paper)
