MCQ
Which of the following pair of molecules will have permanent dipole moment?
  • A
    $NO_2$ and $CO_2$
  • $NO_2$ and $O_3$
  • C
    $SiF_4$ and $CO_2$
  • D
    $SiF_4$ and $NO_2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$NO_2$ and $O_3$
b
$SiF _4, CO _2$ are perfectly symmetrical molecules.

Here, the dipole in all the directions cancel out and the resultant dipole is zero.

Resonance takes place in both $NO _2$ and $O _3$.

The partial charges in both the molecules cause individual dipoles to exist which in turn creates a permanent dipole moment.
