Which is more polar -CO_(2) or N_(2) O? Givereason .

1.	Which is more polar -CO_(2) or N_(2) O? Givereason .
Answer» Solution :`N_(2) O ` is more polar than `CI_(2)` . This is because `CO_(2)`is linear and symmetrical . Its net DIPOLE moment is zero `(Ooverset(larr)=Coverset(rarr)(=O)) . N_(2) O`is linear but unsymmetrical .It is considered as a reasonance hybrid of the FOLLOWING two STRUCTRURE : `:OVERSET(-)overset(. .)N= overset(+)N= overset(. .)O: harr :N-=overset(+)N-overset(-)overset(. .)underset(. .)O:` It has a net dipole moment of 0.116 D.
