Dipole moment of HCl =1.03 D , HI =0.38 D . Bond length of HCl =1.3 Ã… and HI =1.6 Ã… . The ratio of fraction of electric charge, , existing on each atom in HCl and HI is
Options
- A12: 1
- B2.7: 1
- C3.3: 1
- D1: 3.3
Correct answer
C. 3.3: 1
Step-by-step solution
From the definition of dipole moment, = d where, = magnitude of electric charge d= distance between particles (here bond length) array rlrl & = d or, _ HCl _ HI & = _ HCl d_ HCl d_ HI _ HI & = 1.03 1.6 1.3 0.38 =3.3: 1 array
