Of the following compounds, which has the strongest dipole? Select one:
O a. CCl4
O b. SiO2
OC. PC13
O d. H₂O
O e. Brci

D.) H₂O

Explanation:

It can't be A because the molecular geometry is tetrahedral and all the bonding atoms are the same and evenly dispersed, cancels out all dipoles.Can't be B because the molecular geometry is linear and bonding atoms are the same. Therefore the bond dipole cancel out.Can't be C because the molecular geometry is trigonal planar and all the bonding atoms are the same. Therefore all the bond dipoles cancel out.Can't be E because while there is a dipole, it is not as large as the dipole created by an Oxygen Hydrogen bond like the one found in H₂O.
