Question

You have given two species: $NOF$ and $NO _{2} F$ and two dipole moments $1.81 \,D$ and $0.47 \,D$ :

• A. $1.81 \,D$ for $NO _{2} F$ and $0.47\, D$ for NOF
• B. $0.47 \,D$ for $NO _{2} F$ and $1.81\, D$ for NOF because $NO _{2} F$ is linear but NOF is nonlinear molecule
• C. $0.47 \,D$ for $NO _{2} F$ because bond moments of $NO$ bond and NF bonds are oriented in the opposite direction
• D. $0.47 \,D$ for $NO _{2} F$ and $1.81 \,D$ for NOF

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Correct answer is (d) $0.47 \,D$ for $NO _{2} F$ and $1.81 \,D$ for NOF
