Question

Which of the following fluoride of xenon has zero dipole moment?

• A. $Xe{F}_2$
• B. $Xe{F}_3$
• C. $Xe{F}_4$
• D. $Xe{F}_6$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Symmetrical structures have zero dipole moment . Among the given $Xe{F}_4$ has square planar structure as .Thus, its dipole moment is zero.
