Question

question 23 (1 point) listen which of the following shows the correct dipole direction for the molecule i - cl? i - cl a. b. c. d. e. non - polar a) non - polar b) dipole b c) dipole a d) dipole d e) dipole c

Explanation:

The dipole direction is determined by electronegativity. Chlorine (\(Cl\)) is more electronegative than iodine (\(I\)). In a bond \(I - Cl\), the electron - cloud is pulled more towards the more electronegative atom (\(Cl\)). The dipole moment direction is from the less electronegative atom (\(I\)) to the more electronegative atom (\(Cl\)). The symbol for dipole moment is \(\delta^{+}\) (on the less electronegative atom) and \(\delta^{-}\) (on the more electronegative atom) with an arrow pointing towards the more electronegative atom.

Answer:

b) Dipole B
