Q. The molecule which has zero dipole moment is

Jharkhand CECEJharkhand CECE 2010Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

The molecules having distorted geometry have dipole moment and those having regular geometry have zero dipole moment. $\because NH_3, CH_3Cl\, and\, ClO_2$ have distorted geometry.$\therefore $ They have dipole moment. $\because BF_3$ has regular triangular planar geometry and thus, the dipole moment of$BF_3$ is zero.
