Dipole Moment (Chem. Bonding)

How to go about this? Shouldn't HBr have the highest dipole moment? (Large E.N. difference between them as compared to others)

but others have lp so their structures r diff uve to count that too is it 2?

Yeah it is 2.

N and H electronegativity diff is highest
SirLancelotDuLac
SirLancelotDuLacOP3d ago
How exactly do we look at the diff. in structures?

uh hybridisation ? chcl3 structur i thik they ask usually like ch2cl2 chcl3 so maybe chekc out that so NH3 has highest dipole moment so only option 2
SirLancelotDuLac
SirLancelotDuLacOP3d ago
No like for instance H2S and CHCl3 both seem less polar

uh wait just a sec ill brb

What 'bout lone pair vs 3 N-H vectors? Does that create a lot of difference in dipole?

oh wait so nh3 h2s and chcl3 all r sp3 if u compare these 3 N and H have highest EN difference compare b/w the structures

Ah. So basically: 1. Look at structure 2. Go by E.N. diff if substantial But how to compare between H2S and CHCl3 if possible? Oh wait lone pairs on S increase dipole substantially?

yes 2 lp uhh so more lp means BA decreases between the H atoms so
SirLancelotDuLac
SirLancelotDuLacOP3d ago
Oh right.
simplybear
simplybear3d ago
effective dipole moment increases? does thatmake sense
SirLancelotDuLac
SirLancelotDuLacOP3d ago
Sorta. Lone pair increases dipole and reduction in BA decreases it slightly So it would be sort of increased right?
simplybear
simplybear3d ago
i guess so
SirLancelotDuLac
SirLancelotDuLacOP3d ago
Okay. Thanks a lot.

if angle decreases i think net dipole moment would increase coz like cos value is decreasing from 0 to 90 rig idk
