Q. Polarity in a molecule and hence the dipole moment depends primarily on electronegativity of the constituent atoms and shape of a molecule. Which of the following has the highest dipole moment?

$C O_{2}$

$H I$

$H_{2} O$

$S O_{2}$

Thus, $H_{2} O$ has highest dipole moment

Q. Polarity in a molecule and hence the dipole moment depends primarily on electronegativity of the constituent atoms and shape of a molecule. Which of the following has the highest dipole moment?

CO2​

HI

H2​O

SO2​

Thus, H2​O has highest dipole moment

$C O_{2}$

$H I$

$H_{2} O$

$S O_{2}$

Thus, $H_{2} O$ has highest dipole moment
