29well subho has a point there....
the reason for C can be ..due to it's V shape it has some appreciable dipole moment..but then O3 has V shape and no dipole moment...so i go for D only...
24@govind ..we are comparing O2 and H2O .....H2O has V shape thats why has dipole moment....O2 is linear so no dipole moment..
23if ans is C also , then it means that H2O has gr8er CT since it has V shape , so this implies any other compound having v shape has CT gr8er than that of O2 wich aint correct always
4So finally whatz the conclusion ??
Anyone got the answer confirmed????????????
24""any other compound having v shape has CT gr8er than that of O2 wich aint correct always""
@qwerty
we are comparing H2O and O2 only...not generalized case...
