The degree of polarity of a convalent compound is measured by the dipole moment (mu_(bond)) of the bond defined as: mu_(bond) =Charge on one of the poles xxbond length mu_(bond) is a vector quantity. The dipole moment of a molecule is the vector addition of all the bond dipole moments present in it. For a triatomic molecule, containing two bond's like H_(2)O, mu_("molecule") is dipole mements present in it. For a triatomic molecule, containing two bond's like H_(2)O, mu_("molecule") is given by mu_("molcular")^(2) = mu_(bond)^(2) + mu_(bond)^(2) + 2mu_(bond).mu_(bond)costheta theta = bond angle The % ionic character of a bond is calculated using the equations % ionic character = (mu_(obs))/(mu_(ionic)) xx 100 mu_(ionic) = dipole moment when the molecule is assumed to be completely ionic. Which of the following compound has non zero dipole moment -
