Which of the following has highest dipole moment? (i) CH_(3)Cl_(2) (ii) CHCl_(3) (iii) C Cl_(4) |
Answer» Solution :The three dimensional structures of the trhee compounds along with the direction of DIPOL MOMENT in each of their bonds are GIVEN below:  `C Cl_(4)` being symmetrical has zero dipole moment. In `CHCl_(3)`, the resultant of two C-Cl dipoles is opposed by the resultant of C-H and C-Cl bonds. since the latter resultant is expected to be smaller than the former, THEREFORE, `CHCl_(3)` has a FINITE dipole (1.03D) moment. In `CH_(2)Cl_(2)`, the resultant of two C-Cl dipolemoments is reinforced by resultant of two C-H dipoles, therefore, `CH_(3)Cl_(2)(1.62D)` has a dipole moment higher than that of `CHCl_(3)`. thus, `CH_(2)Cl_(2)` has the highest dipole moment. |
