Which of the following molecules is expected to exhibit permanent dipole moment?
- A.BF3
- B.CO2
- C.H2SCorrect answer
- D.CCl4
Solution
has a bent shape (similar to ) due to two lone pairs on the central sulfur atom, resulting in a net dipole moment. (trigonal planar), (linear), and (tetrahedral) are symmetrical molecules with zero dipole moment.
