question

Nelson, et al. (Science 238, 1670 (1987)) examined several weakly bound gas-phase complexes of ammonia in search of examples in which the H\mathrm{H} atoms in NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 formed hydrogen bonds, but found none. For example, they found that the complex of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 and CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 has the carbon atom nearest the nitrogen (299 pm away): the CO2\mathrm{CO}_2 molecule is at right angles to the C−N\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N} 'bond', and the H\mathrm{H} atoms of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 are pointing away from the CO2\mathrm{CO}_2. The magnitude of the permanent dipole moment of this complex is reported as 1.77D1.77 \mathrm{D}. If the N\mathrm{N} and C\mathrm{C} atoms are the centres of the negative and positive charge distributions, respectively, what is the magnitude of those partial charges (as multiples of ee )?

Nelson, et al. (Science 238, 1670 (1987)) examined several weakly bound gas-phase complexes of ammonia in search of examples in which the $\mathrm{H}$ atoms in $\mathrm{NH}_3$ formed hydrogen bonds, but found none. For example, they found that the complex of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ and $\mathrm{CO}_2$ has the carbon atom nearest the nitrogen (299 pm away): the $\mathrm{CO}_2$ molecule is at right angles to the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{N}$ 'bond', and the $\mathrm{H}$ atoms of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ are pointing away from the $\mathrm{CO}_2$. The magnitude of the permanent dipole moment of this complex is reported as $1.77 \mathrm{D}$. If the $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ atoms are the centres of the negative and positive charge distributions, respectively, what is the magnitude of those partial charges (as multiples of $e$ )?
