There are 3 different possible isomers of a dibromoethene molecule, C2H2Br2. One of them has no net dipole moment, but the other two do. Draw Lewis structures for each of these isomers. Include H atoms. cis isomer is a isomer of the trans isomer. The isomer that is neither cis nor trans is a isomer of the other two.

    for the molecule with no dipole moment = 1,2dibromo ethane

    for the molecule with dipole moment = 1,1 dibromo ethane

    Greater thanLess thanGreater thanLess thanGreater thanExplanation:The dipole moment is the difference of electronegativity between the atoms in a molecule, and the total is the sum of the dipole moments of the bonds. So, it depends on the geometry of the molecule. When the dipole moment is 0 the molecule is nonpolar, when it is different from 0 the molecule is polar. Both ClO₂ and SO₂ have angular geometry because there are lone pairs of electrons in the central atom (Cl and S), but Cl has a higher value of electronegativity than S, so the dipole moment must be greater. SiF₄ is a nonpolar molecule, which has tetrahedral geometry and no lone pairs at the central atom. SF₄ has lone pairs at the central atom, and then the molecule is polar, so the dipole moment of SiF₄ is less than of SF₄. The SO₃ molecule has no lone pairs at the central atom and has trigonal geometry, so it's a nonpolar molecule. SO₂ has angular geometry and it's a polar molecule, so the dipole moment of SO₂ is greater. BeCl₂ has a linear geometry and is a nonpolar molecule. SCl₂ has an angular geometry, and it's a polar molecule, so the dipole moment of BeCl₂ is less than the dipole moment of SCl₂. Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than the sulfur, and both molecules are polar with angular geometry, so the dipole moment of H₂O is greater.
