Polarity in a molecule and hence the dipole moment depends prl marily

1.	Polarity in a molecule and hence the dipole moment depends prl marily on electro- negativity of the constituent atoms and shape of a molecule. Which of the following has the highest dipole moment ?
Answer» `CO_(2)` HI `H_(2)O` `SO_(2)` Solution :`H_(2)O` `CO_(2)` being symmetrical so zero DIPOLE moment. Among HI, `SO_(2) and H_(2) O` dipole moment is highest for `H_(2)`O as in it the central ATOM process 2 LONE pairs.
