The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of compounds having zero dipole moment from the given list, we will analyze each compound based on its molecular geometry and symmetry. A compound will have a zero dipole moment if the dipole moments of its bonds cancel each other out due to symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **BF₃ (Boron Trifluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Boron has 3 valence electrons and forms 3 bonds with fluorine. - **Geometry**: Trigonal planar (3 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles from each B-F bond cancel out due to symmetry. - **Result**: Zero dipole moment. 2. **CCl₄ (Carbon Tetrachloride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Carbon has 4 valence electrons and forms 4 bonds with chlorine. - **Geometry**: Tetrahedral (4 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles from each C-Cl bond cancel out due to symmetry. - **Result**: Zero dipole moment. 3. **XeF₆ (Xenon Hexafluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Xenon has 8 valence electrons and forms 6 bonds with fluorine. - **Geometry**: Distorted octahedral (5 bond pairs, 1 lone pair). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles do not cancel out due to the presence of a lone pair. - **Result**: Non-zero dipole moment. 4. **SF₆ (Sulfur Hexafluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and forms 6 bonds with fluorine. - **Geometry**: Octahedral (6 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles from each S-F bond cancel out due to symmetry. - **Result**: Zero dipole moment. 5. **PCl₂F₃ (Phosphorus Dichloride Trifluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and forms 5 bonds (2 with Cl and 3 with F). - **Geometry**: Trigonal bipyramidal (5 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles do not cancel out due to the different electronegativities and positions of Cl and F. - **Result**: Non-zero dipole moment. 6. **PClF₄ (Phosphorus Chloride Tetrafluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons and forms 5 bonds (1 with Cl and 4 with F). - **Geometry**: Seesaw (5 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles do not cancel out due to the different electronegativities and positions of Cl and F. - **Result**: Non-zero dipole moment. 7. **CHCl₃ (Chloroform)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Carbon has 4 valence electrons and forms 4 bonds (1 with H and 3 with Cl). - **Geometry**: Tetrahedral (4 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles do not cancel out due to the presence of Cl and H. - **Result**: Non-zero dipole moment. 8. **HF (Hydrogen Fluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Hydrogen has 1 valence electron and fluorine has 7 valence electrons. - **Geometry**: Linear (1 bond pair). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipole moment is directed from H to F. - **Result**: Non-zero dipole moment. 9. **SO₃ (Sulfur Trioxide)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and forms 3 bonds with oxygen. - **Geometry**: Trigonal planar (3 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles from each S=O bond cancel out due to symmetry. - **Result**: Zero dipole moment. 10. **SO₂ (Sulfur Dioxide)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Sulfur has 6 valence electrons and forms 2 bonds with oxygen. - **Geometry**: Bent (2 bond pairs, 1 lone pair). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles do not cancel out due to the bent shape. - **Result**: Non-zero dipole moment. ### Summary of Results: - Compounds with zero dipole moment: **BF₃, CCl₄, SF₆, SO₃** - Total number of compounds with zero dipole moment: **4** ### Final Answer: The number of compounds having zero dipole moment is **4**.

To determine the number of compounds having zero dipole moment from the given list, we will analyze each compound based on its molecular geometry and symmetry. A compound will have a zero dipole moment if the dipole moments of its bonds cancel each other out due to symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **BF₃ (Boron Trifluoride)**: - **Valence Electrons**: Boron has 3 valence electrons and forms 3 bonds with fluorine. - **Geometry**: Trigonal planar (3 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs). - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles from each B-F bond cancel out due to symmetry. ...
