Choose the correct option for the following molecule in view of chemical bonding
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
The molecule is an allene (C=C=C), where the two terminal carbon atoms are sp² hybridized and the central carbon is sp hybridized.
The two terminal CHCl groups lie in mutually perpendicular planes.
The bond dipoles of the two C–Cl bonds are equal and symmetrically oriented, so they cancel each other.
Hence, the net dipole moment is zero, so , and the correct option is (D).
