Which molecule would you expect to have no dipole moment (i.e., μ = 0 D)?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which molecule among the given options has no net dipole moment, implying that the molecular geometry results in a cancellation of dipoles. This involves understanding molecular structure and dipole moments.
Answer
B) H2C=CF2 (Trans isomer)
The final answer is B) H2C=CF2 (Trans isomer).
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) H2C=CF2 (Trans isomer).
More Information
In molecules such as H2C=CF2, the trans configuration allows the dipoles to cancel out due to symmetry, resulting in zero dipole moment.
Tips
A common mistake is not considering the spatial arrangement of atoms, which affects the cancellation of dipoles.
