(i) `SO_(2)` (ii) cis - and trans of `C_(2)H_(2)Cl_(2)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question of sketching the bond moments and resultant dipole moments for \( SO_2 \) and cis/trans \( C_2H_2Cl_2 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the structure of \( SO_2 \) 1. **Molecular Geometry**: \( SO_2 \) has a bent molecular geometry due to the presence of a lone pair on the sulfur atom. 2. **Bond Moments**: The bond moments are directed from sulfur (S) to oxygen (O) because oxygen is more electronegative than sulfur. 3. **Direction of Dipole Moments**: - The dipole moment from one O to S points towards O. - The dipole moment from the other O to S also points towards O. ...
