(a) Using the electronegativities of Br and Cl, estimate the partial charges on the atoms in the Br – Cl molecule. (b) Using these partial charges and the atomic radii given in Figure 7.8, estimate the dipole moment of the molecule. (c) The measured dipole moment of BrCl is 0.57 D. If you assume the bond length in BrCl is the sum of the atomic radii, what are the partial charges on the atoms in BrCl using the experimental dipole moment?
