The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, we will break down the concepts of polar bonds, dipole moments, and how they relate to each other. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Polar Bonds**: - A polar bond occurs when there is a significant difference in electronegativity between two atoms in a bond. The more electronegative atom attracts the shared electrons more strongly, creating a dipole moment (a separation of charge). - Example: In a bond between boron (B) and fluorine (F), fluorine is more electronegative than boron, making the B-F bond polar. **Hint**: Recall that electronegativity differences lead to polar bonds. 2. **Defining Dipole Moment**: - The dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. - The overall dipole moment of a molecule depends on the vector sum of all individual bond dipoles. **Hint**: Remember that dipole moments are vectors and can be added or canceled based on their directions. 3. **Analyzing Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that "All molecules with polar bonds may not have dipole moments." This is true because if the individual bond dipoles in a molecule cancel each other out due to their arrangement, the molecule can have no net dipole moment. - Example: In the molecule BF3 (boron trifluoride), although each B-F bond is polar, the symmetrical trigonal planar shape causes the dipole moments to cancel out, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. **Hint**: Consider molecular geometry when determining if dipole moments cancel. 4. **Analyzing Statement 2**: - Statement 2 states that "Dipole moment is a vector quantity and bond dipoles may cancel out." This is also true, as it explains how the vector nature of dipole moments allows for cancellation. - In BF3, the bond dipoles point towards the fluorine atoms, but due to symmetry, they cancel each other out, leading to a zero dipole moment. **Hint**: Visualize the arrangement of atoms and the direction of dipole moments to understand cancellation. 5. **Conclusion**: - Both statements are true. Statement 2 provides a correct explanation for Statement 1. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1. **Final Answer**: Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
