JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

A diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of \(1.2 D\). If the bond distance is \(1 \mathring A\), then fractional charge on each atom is _______ \(\times 10^{-1}\) esu. (Given \(1 \mathrm{D}=10^{-18}\) esu \(\mathrm{cm}\) )

  1. A \(0\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(1\)
  4. D \(-1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu=1.2 \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{q} \times \mathrm{d}\) \(\Rightarrow 1.2 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{esu} A=\mathrm{q} \times 1 A\) \(\therefore \mathrm{q}=1.2 \times 10^{-10} \text { esu }\)
