Why is the dipole moment of SO2 1.63 D, but that of CO2 is 0 D O so2 is symmetri

Question

Why is the dipole moment of SO2 1.63 D, but that of CO2 is 0 D O so2 is symmetrical, whereas Co2 is not. Asymmetrical molecules always have a dipole moment of 0 D. co2 is symmetrical, whereas so2 is not. Symmetrical molecules always have a dipole moment of 0 D. CO2 must be dissolved in a nonpolar solvent in order to induce a dipole moment of 0 D. If under the same conditions, the dipole moments of SO2 and CO2 are identical Oso2 must be dissolved in a polar solvent in order to induce a dipole moment. If under the same conditions, the dipole moments of S02 and CO2 are identical.

Explanation / Answer

4)

SO2 has lone pairs on S due to which it is unsymmetrical

Whereas CO2 is linear and do not have a lone pair.

CO2 is symmetrical

Answer: option 2

5)

and * orbital can have maximum of 2 electrons

and * orbital can have maximum of 4 electrons

1 Li atom have 3 electrons

Here, number of Li is 2

so, total number of electrons in Li2 is 6

Since charge is +1

Total number of electron = 5

So, total number of electrons to fill is 5

order of filling of orbitals is:

1s *1s 2s *2s 2p 2p *2p *2p

Lets fill the orbital

the filled orbital is 1s2 *1s2 2s1

The orbital 2s1 has unpaired number of electrons

So, it is paramagnetic in nature

Answer: paramagnetic
