What is the dipole moment for CCI4?

It is a symmetrical tetrahedral molecule so has zero dipole moment.


Does SeF6 have a dipole moment?

NO. SiF4 is a tetrahedral molecule. It has one F on top and the other three as a base for a tetrahedral structure. F ! dipole is upwards for this F. Si resultant dipole is downwards for the 3 F's / ! ) F F F so they cancel each other. Therefore the dipole moment is 0.


Does scl4 have a dipole moment?

No. the molecule is symmetric (tetrahedral) and while the Si-Cl bonds are polar the bond dipole moments cancel one another out.


Which molecule has polar bond but its overall dipole momen is zero?

Symmetric molecules have no dipole moment. An example is carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 , which has no dipole moment yet the C-Cl bonds are polar, (chlorine is more electronegative than carbon). The chlorine atoms each have a small negative charge but because the molecule is tetrahedral there is no dipole and therefore no dipole moment


Why is the dipole moment of water less than the dipole moment of alcohol?

Both CH2Cl2 and CHCl3 are bonded in a tetrahedral structure. The net dipole moment of CHCl3 is less than that of CH2Cl2 because the individual C-Cl dipole moments of CHCl3 cancel out each other to a greater extent.

no dipole moment


What is dipole moment of chloroethane?

There are multiple forms of the molecule "chlorooctane." This is because the chlorine atom can be attached to the octane chain in several different places, and each different placement will result in a different dipole moment. If you specify the structure of the compound more precisely (1-chlorooctane or 2-chlorooctane for example), it is possible to determine its dipole moment.
