Diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of...

Diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of `1.2D` If its bond `1.0 Å` what fraction of an electronic charge exists on each atom ? .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
25
Partial charge `=("Dipole moment")/("Bond distance")`
`=(1.2xx10^(-18))/(1.0xx10^(-8))=1.2xx10^(-10)esu`
The fraction of an electronic charge is
`=(1.2xx10^(-10))/(4.8xx10^(10))=0.25` or 25%

Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation , q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is debye. One debye is equal to 10^(-18) esu cm. Dipole moments is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the geometry of a molecules. Dipole moment values can be distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers, ortho, meta and pare-forms of a substance, etc. Q.
