Why is the dipole moment of hydrogen iodide is less than the dipole moment of hydrocloric acid?

Well, this may be due to the fact that Cl is more electronegative than Iodide, if you notice the periodic chart, an element's electronegativity increases towards the upper right of the chart, and Iodide is far at the bottom of the halogens. NOW where people get confused is because of the size of Iodide, meaning that it should have a great dipole moment because Iodide is bigger than Cl therefore the charges would be more unevenly shared, but HCl wins because of the more electronegativity.

Is hydrogen chloride HCI polar?
Hydrogen chloride is a polar molecule. Its dipole moment is 1.05 D.
Does F2 have a dipole moment?
F2 has no dipole moment. (Hint: if it's just one element, there is no dipole moment)
Does CH3NH2 have a dipole moment?
NH3 is not symmetrical.So it has a dipole moment
Does ammonia have a dipole moment?
NH3 is an asymmetrical compound.So it is exhibits.
What is the dipole moment of SiH4?
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.

Would H20 have a dipole moment?
Yes, H2O is a polar molecule so it would have dipole-dipole forces as well as hydrogen bonding and London dispersion forces.
Where does the dipole in the nitrogen-hydrogen bond point?
The dipole in the nitrogen-hydrogen bond points towards the nitrogen end. The arrow showing a dipole moment points towards the more electron rich region, with its tail at the electron poor region.
Does CH3NH2 have a dipole moment?
NH3 is not symmetrical.So it has a dipole moment
Does ammonia have a dipole moment?
NH3 is an asymmetrical compound.So it is exhibits.
What is the dipole moment of glucose?
The dipole moment of Glucose is 1.8
What is the dipole moment of SiH4?
no dipole moment
Water is a polar molecule because?
Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen and creates a dipole moment.
What is the dipole moment of 11-Dibromoethene?
what is dipole moment of 1,1-Dibromoethene
What is the relationship between a polarity and hydrogen bond?
Polar molecules have a dipole moment and they have intermolecular forces that include dipole-dipole interaction. A hydrogen bond is the attraction between a hydrogen bonded to N, O, F atom with N, O, F lone pair. Small molecules that exhibit this effect are HF, H2O and NH3. The example molecules are all polar. The hydrogen bond interaction is stronger than a normal dipole-dipole interaction.
