Question

The dipole moments of SO2 and CO2 are $5.37 \times 10^{-30}$ C.m and zero respectively. What can be said about the shapes of the two molecules?

Answer 1

"The sulphur dioxide molecule have dipole moment value is "1.61 Debye". It is a bent molecule with a sulphur atom is placed in the central and two atoms of oxygen on the sides, one oxygen atom is connected by a double bond and the other oxygen ion by a single bond.

The "carbon dioxide" molecule have zero dipole moment because in this molecule carbon is a central atoms and two oxygen are bonded by double bond and it is a linear molecule. Therefore, the two opposite charges are cancel to each other.

The shape of the $S{ O }_{ 2 }\quad and\quad C{ O }_{ 2 }$molecule is shown below."
