Question

If the dipole moment of HCl is 1.08 D and the bond distance is 1.27 Å , the partial charge on hydrogen and chlorine, respectively are, +1.0 and -1.0, +0.85 and -0.85, +0.356 and -0.356, +0.178 and -0.178

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Dipole moment = charge × bond distance 1.08 = charge × 1.27 Charge = 1.08 / 1.27 = 0.85 Since, HCl is electrically neutral, H + and C l - will carry the same charge with opposite sign.
