Find the number of molecule(s) is/are having zero dipole moment and linear shape from the following:
$C l F_{3}, I_{3}^{-}, C O_{2}, H g C l_{2}, I C l_{2}^{-}, X e F_{2}$

Open in App

Solution

Five molecules ( $I_{3}^{-}, C O_{2}, H g C l_{2}, I C l_{2}^{-}, X e F_{2}$ ) are having zero dipole moment and linear shape. The linear shape is due to $s p$ or $s p^{3} d$ hybridization. Zero dipole moment is because individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

Find the number of molecule(s) is/are having zero dipole moment and linear shape from the following:ClF3,I−3,CO2,HgCl2,ICl−2,XeF2

Five molecules (I−3,CO2,HgCl2,ICl−2,XeF2) are having zero dipole moment and linear shape. The linear shape is due to sp or sp3d hybridization. Zero dipole moment is because individual bond dipoles cancel each other.
