Predict the geometrical shapes of the following molecules and then predict which molecules you would expect to have resultant dipole moments (also refer to sec-dipole moments):
(a) $S O_{2}$
(b) $N H_{3}$
(c) $H_{2} S$
(d) $C_{2} H_{4}$
(e) $S F_{6}$
(f) $C H_{2} C l_{2}$

Solution

(a) ${S O}_{2}$ geometry is $V -$ shaped or bent-shape this is due to a lone pair of electrons on $s$ .
(b) ${N H}_{3}$ geometry is trigonal pyramidal.
(c) $H_{2} S$ geometry is a Bent shape.
(d) $C_{2} H_{4}$ geometry is trigonal planar.
(e) ${S F}_{6}$ geometry is octahedral.
(f) ${C H}_{2} {C l}_{2}$ geometry is tetrahedral this have dipole moment due to the electronegative difference.
