The electronegativity difference between and is greater that that between and yet the dipole moment of (1.5 D) is larger than that of . This is because:NEET 2006

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The electronegativity of is greater than that of , but in , the electronegativity of is greater than that of . In , the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction, whereas in , these are in opposite directions.
Related Theory The ammonia molecule has a permanent electric dipole moment equal to 1. . A Caution The larger the difference in electronegativity, the larger the dipole moment.
