Amongst and HCl, the number of molecules with non-zero net dipole moment is .
Answer: 3
Solution
A molecule has a non-zero net dipole moment if it is polar (asymmetric charge distribution).
Molecules with non-zero dipole moment: , , = 3
- : Linear, symmetric →
- : Trigonal planar, symmetric →
- : Bent, asymmetric →
- : Pyramidal, asymmetric →
- : Tetrahedral, symmetric →
- : Diatomic, polar →
Molecules with non-zero dipole moment: , , = 3
