Arrange the following species in increasing order of their dipole moments:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

: Trigonal planar geometry with identical bonds. The individual bond dipoles cancel out, so . vs : In , the orbital dipole due to the lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole of the bonds. In , the lone pair dipole is in the opposite direction to the resultant of the bonds. Thus, .: Highly polar with two lone pairs and strong bond dipoles, giving it the highest dipole moment among these.Order: .
