Question
Which molecule in each pair has the greater dipole moment? A) O3 or SO2 1. SO2>O3 or O3>SO2 B)HBr or HCL 2. HBr >HCl or HCl >HBrExplanation / Answer
SO2>O3 HCl >HBr because Cl has the highest electronegativity, the polarity difference between the H and Cl will be the greatest. This creates + (not completely 1+ charge, but slightly positive) charged end at H and a negatively (slightly) charged end at Cl since Cl will suck up H's electrons Next to come is HBr, since Br is the second highest in electronegativity.
