Trans-2-butene has no dipolement , while trans-2-pentane has non zero value. Why? |
Answer» SOLUTION :  In trans-2-butene the POLARITY of `C-CH_(3)` groups opposes each other, because of molecular symmetry. Hence has no dipole MOMENT.  In trans-2-pentene, the polarities of `C-CH_(3)` and `C-C_(2)H_(5)` groups do not cancel each other. Hence there is a net dipole moment. |
