Which one of the molecules shown below has no net molecular dipole moment? A) CH₃Cl B) H₂C CH₂ C) CH₂O D) CH₂Cl₂ E) CH₃OH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order for a molecule to have no net molecular dipole moment, the individual bond dipoles must cancel out. Option B (H₂C) has a linear shape and the bond dipoles of the H-S and C-S bonds are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero.
