A greenhouse gas is a gas that can experience a change in dipole moment.Which of the following can be greenhouse gases?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Greenhouse gases are those that have a change in dipole moment, which means they have a partial positive and negative charge. Of the given choices, only option D (CHF) has a change in dipole moment and can act as a greenhouse gas. The other options (OS, H, and N) do not have polar bonds and therefore cannot experience a change in dipole moment, and hence are not greenhouse gases.
