Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 67
Question: The correct order of dipole moment is [Roorkee 1999]
Options:
A) $ CH_4<NF_3<NH_3<H_2O $
B) $ NF_3<CH_4<NH_3<H_2O $
C) $ NH_3<NF_3<CH_4<H_2O $
D) $ H_2O<NH_3<NF_3<CH_4 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
The dipole moment of $ CH_4=0D, $
$ NF_3=0.2D,NH_3=1.47D $ and $ H_2O=1.85D $ . Therefore the correct order of the dipole moment is $ CH_4<NF_3<NH_3<H_2O $ .
