Chapter 10, Problem 10.99SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To find whether carbon suboxide has any dipole moment

Concept Introduction:

• Dipole moment takes place when there is a difference in the electronegativity of atoms in a bond which results in charge separation.
• Molecular geometry causes polarity in a molecule and molecular polarity can be identified by studying the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.

To find: whether carbon suboxide has any dipole moment
