Chapter 6, Problem 6.88QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The partial charge of $\text{S}$ and $\text{N}$ in $\text{SN}$ should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

• Dipole moment $\left(\text{μ}\right)$ occurs on polar bonds where there is a separation of charges within the molecule. Dipole moment is formed due to the difference in electronegativity of atoms within the molecule and is a measure of polarity.
• $\text{μ=}\text{Q}\text{×}\text{r}$
• $\begin{array}{c}\text{μ}\text{=}\text{Dipole moment}\\ \text{Q}\text{= partial charges}\\ \text{r}\text{= distance between partial charges}\end{array}$

To determine: The partial charge of $\text{S}$ and $\text{N}$ in $\text{SN}$ and the dipole moment of $\text{SO}$ has to be determined.
