Which of the following molecules does not have a dipole moment? A)C₂H₂ B)H₂O C)CH₃CH₂OH D)H I

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Molecules with a dipole moment have a separation of charges, resulting in a positive and negative end. In molecule A, the symmetric arrangement of the atoms cancels out the dipole moments, resulting in no overall dipole moment. Molecules B and C have a dipole moment due to the electronegativity difference between the atoms. Molecule D is a diatomic molecule and does not have a dipole moment.
