Question

Explain why the dipole moment of a so2 is higher than co2

Answer 1

Even though CO2 and SO2 are triatomic molecules, they do not have same dipole moment. ... Therefore, we have no net charge and the molecule is non-polar. In SO2, Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, two more than Carbon. It is a bent molecule, existing as a resonance structure, with a lone pair of electrons on the S.
