In polyatomic molecules dipole moment depend upon -
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
The correct option is (C): Vector sum of the dipole moments of various bonds.
Dipole moment is a vector quantity, meaning it possesses both a specific magnitude and a direction.
In a polyatomic molecule, each individual chemical bond has its own unique bond dipole moment.
The overall net dipole moment of the molecule is determined by the vector addition of all these individual bond dipoles and lone pairs.
This vector sum naturally accounts for both the strengths of the individual bonds and their spatial orientation or geometry.
