Dipole moment of symmetrical molecules is zero. The structures of the given molecules are as <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/f9493794dba698fcc2159336c9b8e5fe-.png" /> Thus, dipole moment is higher for HO2 .

Q. Among the following, the molecule of highest dipole moment is

$CC l_{4}$

$N H_{3}$

$H_{2} O$

$C H C l_{3}$

$B F_{3}$

Dipole moment of symmetrical molecules is zero. The structures of the given molecules are as

Thus, dipole moment is higher for $H O_{2}$ .
