Which compound among the following will have a permanent dipole moment?

  1. (i) only
  2. (ii) only
  3. (iii) only
  4. (iv) only

Solution

The dipole moment depends on the charge and distance between the central atom and side atoms. But the charge is more prominent than distance. It is determined as polar and non-polar molecules. It can be determined by the geometry of the molecule.

The geometrical analytics for determining the dipole moment is shown below:
