Neco Model Questions Vol1 2021 Chemistry Question 2
Practice objective / multiple choice question 2 from the 2021 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
In a molecule of chloroform (\(\mathrm{CHCl_3}\)), carbon is sp\(^3\) hybridised and adopts a tetrahedral arrangement. Using the electronegativities \(\chi_{\mathrm{C}} = 2.55\), \(\chi_{\mathrm{H}} = 2.20\) and \(\chi_{\mathrm{Cl}} = 3.16\), assume that each bond dipole magnitude is proportional to the electronegativity difference of the two atoms and that all bond lengths are equal. Determine the magnitude of the net molecular dipole moment relative to the magnitude of a single C-Cl bond dipole (expressed as a decimal fraction).
