The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of molecules among the given list that have a non-zero dipole moment, we will analyze each molecule one by one based on their molecular geometry and the presence of polar bonds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Ozone (O₃)**: - Ozone has a bent shape due to the presence of a lone pair on the central oxygen atom. The dipole moments do not cancel out, resulting in a non-zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Non-zero. 2. **Sulfur Trioxide (SO₃)**: - SO₃ has a trigonal planar geometry. The dipole moments of the S=O bonds cancel each other out, resulting in a zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Zero. 3. **Sulfur Tetrafluoride (SF₄)**: - SF₄ has a seesaw shape due to the presence of one lone pair on sulfur. The dipole moments do not cancel out completely, resulting in a non-zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Non-zero. 4. **Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF₆)**: - SF₆ has an octahedral geometry. The dipole moments of the S-F bonds cancel each other out, resulting in a zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Zero. 5. **Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S)**: - H₂S has a bent shape due to the presence of lone pairs on sulfur. The dipole moments do not cancel out, resulting in a non-zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Non-zero. 6. **Carbon Disulfide (CS₂)**: - CS₂ has a linear shape. The dipole moments of the C=S bonds cancel each other out, resulting in a zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Zero. 7. **Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)**: - SO₂ has a bent shape. The dipole moments do not cancel out, resulting in a non-zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Non-zero. 8. **Water (H₂O)**: - H₂O has a bent shape due to the presence of lone pairs on oxygen. The dipole moments do not cancel out, resulting in a non-zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Non-zero. 9. **Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂)**: - H₂O₂ has a non-linear (book-shaped) structure. The dipole moments do not cancel out, resulting in a non-zero dipole moment. - **Dipole Moment**: Non-zero. ### Summary of Dipole Moments: - Non-zero dipole moments: O₃, SF₄, H₂S, SO₂, H₂O, H₂O₂ - Zero dipole moments: SO₃, SF₆, CS₂ ### Final Count: The total number of molecules with a non-zero dipole moment is **6**.
