Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. The dipole moments of the given molecules are approximately: $BeF_2$ (linear): $0 	ext{ D}$ $CHCl_3$: $1.04 	ext{ D}$ $NH_3$: $1.47 	ext{ D}$ $H_2O$: $1.85 	ext{ D}$ $2$. Comparing these values, $H_2O$ has the highest dipole moment due to the high electronegativity difference between $O$ and $H$ and its bent molecular geometry where the bond dipoles do not cancel out.

Identify the molecule with the highest dipole moment from the following:
