Question
The dipole moment of AX3, BX3 and CY3 are 4.97 × 10-30, 0.60 × 10-30 and 0.00 C.M. respectively, then the shape of molecules may be
Options
A.Pyramidal, T-shape, Trigonal planar
B.Pyramidal, pyramidal, T-shape
C.Pyramidal, pyramidal, Trigonal planar
D.Pyramidal, pyramidal, linear
Solution
Since the dipole moment of CY3 = 0. It means C in CY3 is sp3 hybridisation
μnet = 0
Trigonal planar
μnet ≠ 0
Trigonal pyramidal
Trigonal pyramidal T-shape μnet ≠ 0
μnet = 0Trigonal planar
μnet ≠ 0Trigonal pyramidal
Trigonal pyramidal T-shape μnet ≠ 0
