Which of the following hypothetical triatomic molecules is/are polar and have dipolemoment greater than zero? Assume and Y have different electronegativities
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
B, C, D
Solution:
A (linear X–A–X): Symmetrical → dipoles cancel → non-polar
B (linear X–X–A): Unsymmetrical → dipole ≠ 0 → polar
C (angular A–X–Y): Bent shape → dipoles don’t cancel → polar
D (angular X–A–Y): Bent + different atoms → polar
