Question

a) The shape of PCl5 is trigonal bipyramidal but of ClF3 is ‘T’ shaped, although in both

molecules central atom has sp3

d hybridization, explain.

(b) The dipole moment of CO2 is zero while of SO2 is not zero, why?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Second, the molecule has the right atoms and arrangements of electrons ... Experimentally, the dipole moment of SO2 is m = 1.63 D. ... molecule has an overall dipole moment of zero ...

Hope it helps u...
