4.
Using the results of Problem 3, verify that the dipole moment of
the entire water molecule is 1.85 D, as was claimed before in the
chapter. That is, if the bond moment of the preceding problem is
represented by uB, what is the vector sum
of two vectors of length uB that make an
angle of 105 degrees to one another?
5. If the N-H bond in ammonia is 27% ionic, and the bond length
is 1.01 A, what is the bond moment of each N-H bond?
6. With the value calculated in Problem 5, show that the observed
dipole moment of ammonia should be 1.47 D. That is, what is the
vector sum of three vectors of length uB that make angles of 107
degrees with one another? (There is more geometry than chemistry
in this problem. )
