Question

Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Which of the following molecules has the maximum dipole moment?

A

CO2CO_2

B

CH4CH_4

C

NH3NH_3

D

NF3NF_3

Answer

NH3NH_3

Explanation

Solution

CO2CO _{2} and CH4CH _{4} have a zero dipole moment because of the symmetric structure & among
NH3NH _{3} and NF3,NNF _{3}, N is more electronegative than HH and dipole moment in in the direction of the lone pair, hence NH3NH _{3} has more dipole moment than NF3NF _{3}.
