The dipole moments of SO2 and CO2 are 5....

The dipole moments of `SO_2 and CO_2` are `5.37 xx 10^(-30)` C.m and zero respectively. What can be said about the shapes of the two molecules?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Oxygen in cnsiderably more electronegative than either sulphur or carbon. The sulphur - oxygen and the carbon - oxygen bond should be polar with a net negative charge residing on the oxygen.
`SO_2` is angular, as the S= O
bond moments do not cancel.
`CO_2` is linear. Though C = O bonds are polar, the bond moments cancel each other.
