For which of the following molecule significant μ ≠ 0 ?

For which of the following molecule significant $\mu \ne 0$ ?

1. Only (a)
2. (a) and (b)
3. Only (c)
4. (c) and (d)

Solution

In (C) and (D) the oxygen and sulphur are sp³​ hybridized, with 2 lone pairs. Thus the molecule is 3D, and has a dipole moment.
