Question

Which of the possible molecule/species is having maximum values for dipole moment. (where "A" is the central atom)?

Options

• AX₃ (having one lone pair on central atom)

• AX₄ (Tetrahedral)

• AX₄Y (having no lone pair on central atom)

• Can't be predicted

Answer 1

Can't be predicted

Explanation:

Dipole moment values cannot be predicted since we are unaware of the atoms' electronegativities.
