Assertion : The dipole moment helps to predict whether a molecule is polar or non- polar.
Reason : The dipole moment helps to predict geometry of molecule.

A

(a)If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

(b)If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

(c )If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

(d)If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The linear triatomic molecules of the type `B-A-B e.g. CO_(2)` have no dipole moment, not because the individual `C=O` bonds are non-polar but because the two bond moment (polarity) cancle each other. Therefore, geometry of molecules can be predicted by the other. Therefore, geometry of molecules can be predicted by the value of dipole moment.

The dipole moments of the given molecules are such that :

The order of dipole moment of the following molecules is

Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation , q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is debye. One debye is equal to 10^(-18) esu cm. Dipole moments is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the geometry of a molecules. Dipole moment values can be distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers, ortho, meta and pare-forms of a substance, etc. Q. Which is a polar molecule?
