Solution: The molecule shown here is difluoromethane (CH2F2), which is used as a refrigerant called R-32. If the molecule is polar, which of the following describes the direction of the overall dipole moment vector in the molecule: (i) from the carbon atom toward a fluorine atom (ii) from the carbon atom to a point midway between the fluorine atoms (iii) from the carbon atom to a point midway between the hydrogen atoms (iv) from the carbon atom toward a hydrogen atom?

Problem
The molecule shown here is difluoromethane (CH2F2), which is used as a refrigerant called R-32.
If the molecule is polar, which of the following describes the direction of the overall dipole moment vector in the molecule:
(i) from the carbon atom toward a fluorine atom
(ii) from the carbon atom to a point midway between the fluorine atoms
(iii) from the carbon atom to a point midway between the hydrogen atoms
(iv) from the carbon atom toward a hydrogen atom?
