Statement $I$: Dipole moment is a vector quantity and by convention it is depicted by a small arrow with tail on the positive centre and head pointing towards the negative centre.
Statement $II$: The crossed arrow of the dipole moment symbolizes the direction of the shift of charges in the molecules.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :-

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are correct.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but Statement $II$ is correct.
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • D
    Statement $I$ is correct but Statement $II$ is incorrect.

How can the charge distribution in iodine monochloride $(ICl)$ be represented?

Which molecule has both non-polar and polar bonds,but the molecule as a whole is polar?

The molecular size of $ICl$ and $Br_2$ is approximately the same,but the $b.p.$ of $ICl$ is about $40 \ ^oC$ higher than that of $Br_2$. This is because:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: $NH_3$ and $NF_3$ molecules have a pyramidal shape with a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. The resultant dipole moment of $NH_3$ is greater than that of $NF_3$.
Reason $R$: In $NH_3$,the orbital dipole due to the lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the $N-H$ bonds. $F$ is the most electronegative element.
