Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given molecules have electric dipoles, we need to analyze the molecular geometry and symmetry of each molecule. An electric dipole exists when there is a separation of charge due to differences in electronegativity between atoms in a molecule, and this dipole does not cancel out due to molecular symmetry. Let's analyze each molecule step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze CCl₄ (Carbon Tetrachloride) - **Molecular Geometry**: Tetrahedral - **Symmetry**: CCl₄ has four identical chlorine atoms symmetrically arranged around the central carbon atom. - **Dipole Moment**: The dipoles from each C-Cl bond cancel each other out due to symmetry. ...
