Interpretation:
The difference in the dipole moment of two similar molecules of N;
Concept introduction:
VSEPR is the theory purposed to explain the geometry of those molecules mainly which have lone pairs on the central atom as due to presence of lone pair and bond pairs, the repulsion plays important role in the determination of molecular geometry of the molecule. According to VSEPR theory, the lone pair-bond pair repulsion determines the molecular geometry of the molecules and geometry determines the dipole moment of the molecule. Dipole moment is the product of charge and distance between bonded atoms. Electronegativity of bonded atoms determines the direction as well as magnitude of dipole moment.

- In the ammonia (NH3) molecule, three hydrogen (H) atoms form an equilateral triangle, with the center of the triangle at distance d = 94.0 pm (picometer) from each hydrogen atom. The nitrogen (N) atom is at the apex of a pyramid, with the three hydrogen atoms forming the base. The nitrogen-to-hydrogen atomic mass ratio is 13.9, and the nitrogen-to-hydrogen distance is L = 101.4pm. What are the (a)x and (b)y coordinates of the molecule's center of mass? [Answer: (a) 0; (b)31.3 pm]. SHOW work, work needs to be shown!arrow_forwardIf PF3 is covalent, state its structure using the VSEPR model, and if the molecule is polar or apolar. If it is an ionic compound, find out the type of lattice it belongs.arrow_forwardThe bond between carbon and hydrogen is one of the most important typesof bonds in chemistry. The length of an H¬C bond is approximately 1.1 Å.Based on this distance and differences in electronegativity, do you expect thedipole moment of an individual H¬C bond to be larger or smaller than that ofan H¬I bond?arrow_forward
