Which of the following molecules has zero dipole moment?
Options
- AH ₂ O
- Bx ₂ H ₂ ~S
- CX ₃ NF ₃
- DCO ₂
Correct answer
D. CO ₂
Step-by-step solution
In CO ₂ , the C - O bond dipoles are equal in magnitude but oriented in opposite directions (at 180^ ). Their vector sum is zero, so CO ₂ has no net dipole.
