Question

Diethyl ether has dipole moment because they are bent molecule. [True/False]

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Yes, Diethyl ether is bent molecule. So it has dipole moment.

If this molecule is linear then, the net dipole moment will become 0. i.e, dipole moment between one O-C2H5 will cancel other.

Answer 2

Diethyl ether has a dipole moment because they are bent molecules. - True

• The formula for Diethyl ether is noted as CH3CH2OCH2CH3.
• It serves as a solvent in the production of synthetic colours and polymers and is a component of beginning fluids.
• Due to the oxygen atom's greater electronegative charge compared to the hydrogen and carbon atoms, the molecular geometry of this substance is twisted.
• A dipole moment is produced in molecule as a result of the formation of a polar covalent connection between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.  Thus, the polar compounds dissolve easily in diethyl ether due to this moment.
• It acts as a solvent that can be used to dissolve polar compounds that can act as hydrogen bond donors because such compounds can form hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms' non-bonding electron pairs.
