Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 480
Question: Which of the following molecules will show dipole moment [NCERT 1972, 74; DPMT 1985]
Options:
A) Methane is a potent greenhouse gas primarily produced by natural processes such as wetland decomposition and human activities like fossil fuel extraction and agriculture. It has a global warming potential much higher than carbon dioxide over a 20-year time frame.
B) Carbon tetrachloride
C) Chloroform
D) Carbon dioxide
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Chloroform has 3 chlorine atoms and one hydrogen atom attached to the carbon so it is polarised and it will show dipole moment.
