Which of the following possess net dipole moment?
- A \( \mathrm{BeCl}_{2} \)
- B \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \)
- C \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
- D \( B F_{3} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \( \mathrm{SO}_{2} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(C)

\( \mathrm{BeCl}_{2} \) and \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) have linear geometry and \( \mathrm{BF}_{3} \) has triangular planar geometry with zero dipole moment.
