Describe The Molecular Dipole Of Ocl2
Explain the dopole of OCl2 molecule. 3
Is one of the following
a) z
B) Measurable and chlorine based
c) Measurable and oxygen based
Thank you!
The answer is c) measurable and based on oxygen.
Its molecular structure is similar to that of water (H2O), so it contains dopole. And because oxygen has more negative electrons than chlorine, the bound electrons (and therefore the entire dopole moment) are drawn closer to the oxygen atom than two chlorine.
