Hi, please could I have help on this question? I thought the answer would be C or D by looking at the electro negativity difference but the answer is B? I’m not really sure how to workout which one has the largest dipole?

its not D because its symmetrical and that means the dipole cancels out. Its couldn't be C because the oxygen is 2- but this is cancelled out by the two Cl-. B has the oxygen which has 2- and the two h+ which is a dipole because of the difference in charge within the molecule (two equal and opposite charges)

Ohhh ok so it’s d because there’s -2 on oxygen and overall +2 on hydrogen and since there’s a positive and negative pole, it’s the dipole and it wouldn’t be A or D because they are symmetrical so there is no overall dipole? Thanks
