The observed dipole moment of $HCl$ is $1.303 \ D$. This indicates that $HCl$ has $17 \%$ ionic and $83 \%$ covalent character. The bond length of $HCl$ is $1.26 \ \mathring{A}$ and the charges on $H$ and $Cl$ ions are $+e$ and $-e$. Calculate the theoretical dipole moment in $D$.

  • A
    $1.303$
  • B
    $7.66$
  • C
    $3.303$
  • D
    $5.602$
