Why the dipole moment of Co2 is zero and that of H2O is 1.85D?

Chemistry
1 answer:

6 0

Answer/ explanation :

In CO2 molecule, the angle between O-C-O is 180, therefore, when the oxygen atom attracts the electron pair towards itself, then it becomes partially negative and the carbon atom becomes partially positive. The bonds in O=C=O are pointing opposite each other and the bond dipoles cancels each other thereby making it zero.

The dipole in O-H bonds cannot cancel out and that is why water has an overall molecular dipole of 1.85D.

CO2 is a linear molecule, so the dipoles are symmetrical. The dipoles are equal in both magnitude but are differ in point facing opposite directions.

The smell of hot food moves faster than the smell of cold food. Which property of gas is responsible for this?
miskamm [114]
When pressure is added to a gas the molecules bounce around really fast and push against the walls of its container. That's why when you squeeze an empty water bottle you can crush it all the way. The smaller the container the more the molecules hit the walls faster and that's what creates pressure. While moving around the molecules get hot as they speed up. Heat = Pressure.
