Which one of the following molecules has zero dipole movement?
Correct answer: B. Carbon dioxide
- A. Ammonia
- B. Carbon dioxide
- C. Hydrogen fluoride
- D. Water
Explanation
Has a dipole moment of 0 D because it is a linear molecule with symmetrical charge distribution; the dipoles of the C=O bonds cancel each other out.

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.
