Question

Which of the following molecules would you expect to have a dipole moment of zero?

Answer 1

Answer:

CCl2=CCl2

Explanation:

Recall that the individual dipole moments in a symmetrical molecule cancel out each other thereby making the overall molecule to be non polar.

CCl2=CCl2 contain individual polar bonds but the molecule is highly symmetrical thus its dipole cancel out and the molecule has no overall dipole moment, hence CCl2=CCl2 has a dipole moment of zero .
