Passage / Comprehension

The separation of charges on covalent bonded atom is responsible for the origin of dipole moment in covalent bond. A quantitative measure of the polarity of bond is it's dipole moment(μ), which is the product of charge (q) and distance(r) between the charges.

molecule have net resultant dipole moment 1.60 debye. ( Central atom Fluorine) Select impossible geometry of

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Linear → dipole cancels → μ = 0 (not possible since μ = 1.60 D given)

So linear geometry is impossible
