Answer to Question #106682 in Chemistry for C

Question

Does the molecule BF2Br have a dipole moment?Yes or No

Answer 1

The molecule BF₂Br Lewis structure is represented in Figure:

Its is shape is trigonal planar. The three bonds are not all the same, so their dipole moments (shown as red arrows) don't cancel each other. This molecule is therefore polar.

Answer: Yes, the molecule BF₂Br does have a dipole moment.
