Electro negativity difference is zero.So dipole moment is zero.


What is the dipole moment for CCI4?

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


What molecule has zero dipole moment?

Carbon dioxide has a zero dipole moment. The C=O bonds are polar, but because the molecule is linear, the polarities cancel one another and the molecule has a zero dipole moment. Click on the related link for an illustration of the carbon dioxide molecule showing its dipole moment.


What is the angle between dipole moment and electric field in a electric dipole?

Zero Dipole would set itself such that dipole moment vector is along the electric field vector

What is the Dipole moment of ozone?

zero because it is symmetrical molecule


Is ccl4 a dipole moment?

Probably you are intending to question whether CCl4 has a dipole moment. if so the answer is no. it is because CCl4 is a symmetric molecule and hence even if each bond has a dipole moment, the algebraic sum of the dipole moments of all the four bonds cancel out resulting in zero dipole moment.


Does SnCl2 have a dipole moment?

No, becasue the -CL on each side of the Sn will balance the dipole moment resulting in zero dipole.


Why dipole moment is zero in non polar molecules non zero in polar molecules?

The dipole moment is zero in nonpolar molecules and non-zero in polar molecules due to electronegativity. Polar molecules have balanced electronegativity that will cancel one another out, while nonpolar molecules have unbalanced electronegativity causing dipole moments.
