Q26 / 180 · KCET 2019 · Chemistry

Which of the following possess net dipole moment?

  • A
    \( \mathrm{BeCl}_{2} \)
  • B
    \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \)
  • Correct answer
    C
    \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
  • D
    \( B F_{3} \)

Solution

(C)
Figure
\( \mathrm{BeCl}_{2} \) and \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) have linear geometry and \( \mathrm{BF}_{3} \) has triangular planar geometry with zero dipole moment.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
