Question

Consider (i) CO2, (ii) CCl4, (iii) C6Cl6 and (iv) CO and tell which of the following statements is correct? (A) (i), (ii) and (iii) only have zero dipole moment (B) (i), (ii) and (iv) only have zero dipole moment (C) only (iv) has zero dipole moment (D) All have zero dipole moment

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In CO 2, CCl 4 and C 6 Cl 6, all polar bonds possess the same value of dipole moment, thus overall dipole moment of molecule is found to be zero.

Whereas in case of CO, the dipole moment is equal to the dipole moment of C - O bond.

Q. Consider (i) $C O_{2}$ , (ii) $CC l_{4}$ , (iii) $C_{6} C l_{6}$ and (iv) $CO$ and tell which of the following statements is correct?

(i), (ii) and (iii) only have zero dipole moment

(i), (ii) and (iv) only have zero dipole moment

only (iv) has zero dipole moment

All have zero dipole moment

In $C O_{2}, CC l_{4}$ and $C_{6} C l_{6}$ , all polar bonds

possess the same value of dipole moment, thus overall dipole moment of molecule is found to be zero.

Whereas in case of $CO$ , the dipole moment is equal to the dipole moment of $C - O$ bond.
