AI Generated Solution

To explain the trend in dipole moment of hydrogen halides (HF, HCl, HBr, HI) decreasing from HF to HI, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Dipole Moment The dipole moment (μ) is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule. It is given by the formula: \[ \mu = q \times d \] where: - \( q \) is the charge difference (related to electronegativity), - \( d \) is the distance between the charges (bond length). ...
