Question

Dipole moment of chlorobenzene is 1.1 d hence dipole moment of 1 2 3 5 tetrachloro benzennebene will be same explain

Answer 1

Answer:

It would be 1.1 D

Explanation:

If you would look at the structure of 1,2,3,5 chlorobenzene, you would find that the dipole moment of 2nd chlorine and 5th chlorine cancels each other out as they are opposite to each other. The remaining chlorine atoms are at 120 degree with each other. As we know dipole moment is a vector quantity, therefore we have to add them vectorily. Since the angle between is 120 degree therefore the resultant would be equal to the initial vector quantity. Hence, the answer is 1.1 D only.

I hope you understood the answer.
