What causes the two atoms to combine to form a bond which is:
(i) Non-polar
(ii) Polar-covalent and
(iii) Ionic in nature?
Briefly explain the term 'Dipole moment'. How is it expressed and what are its units?
Although both CO2 and H2O are triatomic molecules, the shape of H2O molecule is bent While that of CO2 is linear. Explain this on the basis of dipole moment.
Explain why BeH2 molecule has a zero dipole moment although the Be-H bonds are polar?
Sketch the bond moments and resultant dipole moment in SO2, cis and trans forms of CH2Cl2.
The dipole moment of hydrogen halides decreases from HF to HI. Explain this trend.
