Which molecule has the largest dipole? A)fluorine gas (F₂) B)dihydrogen gas (H₂) C)dinitrogen gas (N₂) D)chlorine monofluoride gas (ClF) E)carbon dioxide gas (CO₂)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chlorine monofluoride gas (ClF) has the largest dipole moment because it is a polar molecule with two different atoms bonded together (Cl and F) and the bond between these atoms is highly polarized. The dipole moment of ClF is 1.03 D, which is larger than that of all the other options.
