(a)
Interpretation:
An appropriate bond dipole for the carbon-magnesium bond in dimethylmagnesium is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The dipole moment is defined as the charge separation between two atoms in a covalent bond or between two ions in an ionic bond. It is used to determine the polarity of atoms or ions. If the value of dipole moment is zero, then the molecule is said to be non-polar, and if the value of dipole moment is not zero, then the molecule is said to be polar and possess permanent dipole moment.
(b)
Interpretation:
The geometry of dimethylmagnesium is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The dipole moment is defined as the charge separation between two atoms in a covalent bond or between two ions in an ionic bond. It is used to determine the polarity of atoms or ions. If the value of dipole moment is zero, then the molecule is said to be non-polar, and if the value of dipole moment is not zero, then the molecule is said to be polar and possess permanent dipole moment.
(c)
Interpretation:
The conclusion about the dipole moment of dimethylmagnesium is to be drawn.
