Which of the following is the correct order of dipole moment?
Which of the following is the correct order of dipole moment?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
has zero dipole moment as it is symmetrical in nature. has maximum dipole moment as it possess two lone pair of electrons. Between and has greater dipole moment though in and , both possesses one lone pair of electrons.
This is beacuse in case of , the net bond dipole is in the same direction as the direction of dipole of lone pair. But in case of , the direction of net dipole moment of three bonds is opposite to that of the dipole moment of the lone pair. Thus, the correct of dipole moment is
