Answer:
c) H2O
Explanation:
For
O—O
Due to its linear shape its dipole moment is zero
For
The CO2 molecule is also linear shaped for which it has zero dipole moment
For
The central oxygen atom contains lone pair of electron so it is bent shape . the H- atom is again electro - positive so its dipole moment is towards the central atom . Again lone pair of electron has its dipole moment in the same direction. Therefore, it has positive dipole moment .
The central Carbon atom is surrounded by Chlorine atoms in al 4 sides . So , here due to opposite direction of all the dipole moment made by Cl-atom , the resultant dipole becomes zero
Hence , here among all these molecules H2O has the highest dipole moment .
