MCQ
Which of the following compounds possesses the dipole moment
  • Water
  • B
    Boron trifluoride
  • C
    Benzene
  • D
    Carbon tetrachloride

Water
a
In $H _2 O$, the $O - H$ bond dipoles are also equal in magnitude, but they are oriented at $104.5^{\circ}$ to each other. Hence the vector sum is not zero, and $H _{-} 2 O$ has a net dipole moment.
