Ans: The overall dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule depends on two factors: the
58
polarity of various bonds and molecular geometry, since dipole forces have both
magnitude and direction. In some molecules containing bonds of identical
polarity, the molecular geometry may result in a net cancellation of the overall
dipole forces. This is what happens in carbon dioxide: although there are two
polar C-O bonds, because of the linear geometry of the molecule, the net dipole is
zero.

Strong hydrogen bonding between molecules of ethanol leads to elevation in

boiling point. No hydrogen bonding is possible between molecules of propane,
resulting in a lower boiling point compared with ethanol.

Ans: Strong hydrogen bonding between molecules of ethanol leads to elevation in

boiling point. No hydrogen bonding is possible between molecules of dimethyl
ether, resulting in a lower boiling point compared with ethanol.
