11. Bonding & Molecular Structure
Dipole Moment
Back to all problems
ANSWERS OPTIONS
A
Ozone has a small dipole moment because the electronegativity of oxygen varies.
B
The lone pair in the central O atom causes an uneven electron distribution within the molecule.
C
The lone pair in the central O atom moves from one atom to another so it causes one atom to be more electronegative than the other.
D
Ozone has a linear geometry so it is not possible for ozone to have a small dipole moment.
