Does HCN have a dipole moment?

Does HCN have a dipole moment? (d) HCN is a linear molecule; it does have a permanent dipole moment; it does contain N, however the nitrogen is not directly bonded to a hydrogen. Therefore dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces act between pairs of HCN molecules.

Why does HCN have no net dipole moment?

HCN is a polar molecule because of the large electronegative difference between Nitrogen(3.04) and hydrogen(2.2) due to which the linear-shaped molecule has unequal sharing of charge and results in non zero dipole moment making the molecule polar. HCN is acidic in nature.
