Predict the dipole moment of co2 molecule and explain
Answers
A molecule like CO2 may be composed of two dipoles, but it has nodipole moment. ... When moleculeshave an even charge distribution and no dipole moment, then they are nonpolar molecules. CO2 is a linearmolecule, so our dipoles are symmetrical; the dipoles are equal in magnitude but point in opposite directions.
✷Carbon dioxide and water are both very common molecules on Earth. Carbon dioxide molecules are almost two-and-a-half times heavier than water molecules, yet water is a liquid at room temperature and carbon dioxide is gas
✷Nonmetal atoms like carbon, oxygen and hydrogen bond by sharing electrons in what is known as a covand bond.
✷A dipole is best defined as a separation of charges between two covalently bonded atoms. The atom that hogs the electrons will have a partial negative charge, often represented with a lowercase delta and a negative sign. The electron deprived atom will have a partial positive charge, represented with a lowercase delta and positive sign. Arrows are also commonly used to indicate a dipole. will have a partial negative charge, often represented with a lowercase delta and a negative sign. The electron deprived atom will have a partial positive charge, represented with a lowercase delta and positive sign. Arrows are also commonly used to indicate a dipole.
:-✿The next step in solving our conundrum is to determine the dipole moment. A molecule has a dipole moment when there is an overall unequal distribution of electrons across the entire molecule. Dipole moments are illustrated with a massive arrow pointing from the partially positive area of the molecule to the partially negative area of the molecule.
