Which has (have) zero value of dipole moment?
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:
(A) XeF₄ and (C) CO₂ have zero dipole moments because their square planar and linear geometries, respectively, allow the bond dipoles to perfectly oppose and cancel one another. (D) p-dichlorobenzene is also symmetrical; the two C–Cl bond dipoles point in exactly opposite directions, resulting in .
(B) CHCl₃ has a non-zero dipole moment because its distorted tetrahedral shape is asymmetrical, meaning the C–H and C–Cl dipoles do not cancel out.
Thus, the correct options are A, C, and D.
