Bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (so2) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (co2) does not. explain. (problem 1.31)

Respuesta :

Bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SOâ‚‚) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) does not because of the difference in their shape, COâ‚‚ is having linear geometry thus exhibit zero dipole moment while SOâ‚‚ is having bent shape thus exhibit dipole moment. So, despite the fact that bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SOâ‚‚) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) does not.
