Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect for the dipole moment measurement of the compound ?

• A. It helps to predict the percentage ionic character in a bond.
• B. It helps to predict the shape of the molecule.
• C. It helps to predict the particular cis trans isomers.
• D. It helps to predict the bond energies of all bonds within the molecule.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

It helps to predict the bond energies of all bonds within the molecule.

With the knowledge of dipole moment, we cannot tell anything about the bond energies of all bonds within the molecule.
