Which compound among the following has the highest dipole moment?
Options
- ANH 3
- BSO 2
- CN 2 O
- DCO 2
Correct answer
B. SO 2
Step-by-step solution
The dipole moment depends on the charge and distance between the central atom and side atoms. But the charge is more prominent than distance. It is determined as polar and non-polar molecules It is used for covalent or ionic molecule μ net   =   0 It is for non-polar molecule μ net   ≠ 0 It is for polar molecule It can be determined by the geometry of the molecule. As, ammonia has trigonal pyramidal shape in which the dipole moment of lone pair balances the moment of bond pair. In cas
