Maximum dipole moment is possessed by ?
Correct answer: A. H2O
- A. H2O
- B. H2S
- C. CO
- D. CH4
Explanation
H2O (μ= 1.85D),CO (p=0.12D),H2S (μ=0.95D),CH4 (μ= 0.0D).Water is a highly polar molecule due to its bent molecular geometry and the electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
