Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The dipole moment arrow is to be drawn for the given P-F bond.
Concept introduction:
Dipole moment arrows are drawn from the atom with less electronegativity to atom with more electronegativity.
(a)
Answer to Problem 16A
Explanation of Solution
Fluorine is more electronegative than phosphorus. So, arrow will be from phosphorus to fluorine.
(b)
Interpretation:
The dipole moment arrow is to be drawn for the given P-O bond.
Concept introduction:
Dipole moment arrows are drawn from the atom with less electronegativity to atom with more electronegativity.
(b)
Answer to Problem 16A
Explanation of Solution
Oxygen is more electronegative than phosphorus. So, arrow will be from phosphorus to oxygen.
(c)
Interpretation:
The dipole moment arrow is to be drawn for the given P-C bond.
Concept introduction:
Dipole moment arrows are drawn from the atom with less electronegativity to atom with more electronegativity.
(c)
Answer to Problem 16A
Explanation of Solution
Phosphorus is more electronegative than carbon. So, arrow will be from carbon to Phosphorus.
(d)
Interpretation:
The dipole moment arrow is to be drawn for the given P-H bond.
Concept introduction:
Dipole moment arrows are drawn from the atom with less electronegativity to atom with more electronegativity.
(d)
Answer to Problem 16A
Explanation of Solution
Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen. So, arrow will be from hydrogen to Phosphorus.
