Polarity in a molecule and hence the dip...

Polarity in a molecule and hence the dipole moment depends primarily on electronegativity of the constituent atoms and shape of a molecule. Which of the following has the highest dipole moment?

A

`CO_(2)`

B

Hl

C

`H_(2)O`

D

`SO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Both O=C=O and Hl are lineae.
`H_(2)O` (bond angle = `104.5^(2)`) has more dipole moment than `SO_(2)` (bond angle = `120^(@)`)
