Which bond angle,

\theta

would result in the maximum dipole moment for the triatomic molecule

X{Y_2}

shown below?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\mathrm{\theta } = 90^\circ

Option A (

\mathrm{\theta } = 90^\circ

) is correct because the resultant dipole moment is maximum when the angle between the two bond dipoles is the smallest, which is

90^\circ

in this case.
