Question

what is the dipole moment of BaCl2
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

BaCl2 (in gas phase) has zero dipole moment

Answer 2

Answer:

BaCl2 has zero dipole moment even though the bonds are polarised. The structure of BaCl2 is linear that is Cl-Ba-Cl. The chloride pull the electrons toward them, but one of the chloride pulling it to the right and other pulling it to the left. These forces cancel each other out, which makes BaCl.
