Problem: Which of the following molecules have dipole moments?(a) CS2(b) SeS2(c) CCl2F2(d) PCl3 (P is the central atom)(e) ClNO (N is the central atom)
FREE Expert Solution
Recall that dipole moment refers to the electronegativity difference in a bond/molecule.
Recall that for a covalent bond to be:
• Polar: electronegativity difference must be greater than 0.5
• Non-polar: electronegativity difference must be less than 0.5
(a) CS2
(b) SeS2
(c) CCl2F2
(d) PCl3 (P is the central atom)
(e) ClNO (N is the central atom)
