Question

The dipole moment of CO2 is zero, which implies that:
  1. carbon and oxygen have equal electronegativities.
  2. carbon has no polar bond.
  3. carbon has bond moments of zero value.
  4. CO2 is a linear molecule.

A
carbon and oxygen have equal electronegativities.
B
carbon has no polar bond.
C
CO2 is a linear molecule.
D
carbon has bond moments of zero value.
Solution
Verified by Toppr

CO2 has the structure as O=C=O in which there is bond dipole moment (C-O bond). But, as the dipole moment of one bond is cancelled by other, the structure of CO2 is a linear. So, CO2 has zero dipole moment because it is a linear molecule.
