Which of the following molecules would you expect to have a resultant dipole moment (μ)?

Select all that apply.

   (a)   AlCl3
   (b)   SCl4
   (c)   SnCl2

metals and non metals form ionic compounds .NH4+ is a cationic radical with positive charge so it also form ionic compounds
a) NH4NO3
(d) K2O
(e) MgCl2
(f) Li2 ( ionic attractions in Li+ and free  electrons )

Check the symmetry of the molecules which you can easily predict after deciding about the shape of the molecule
Like AlCl3 is a trigonal planar and is symmetrical .Hence no dipole moment.
similarly try others

hich one of the following molecules has a permanent dipole moment?
(a) PH3
(b) SF6
(c) SO3
(d) XeF4
(e) CCl4
same here
check for the shape after making lewis diagram and than for the symmetry .
If it is symmetrical dioples will cancel out.Like SO3 has trigonal planar and has symmetry

(f) Li2 ? it exists or hypothetical or something ?

Ionic crystal or molecule of NaCl ,its dipole moment is Q1Q2/ r^2 ?
Every ionic crystal have covalent nature so all of them have dipole moments right?

Dipole Moment of any Ionic crystal always greater than a Covalent molecule ?

Li2 is a theoretical molecule .
NaCl is an ionic compound and not a molecule .
Ionic compounds have extremely high dipole moments because of complete charge transfer.
