Question

Dipole moment of Chlorobenzene is lower than that of Cyclohexyl Chloride. Why?​

Answer 1

The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is less than cyclohexyl chloride as in chloro benzene because C-Cl bond is sp2 hybridised where as in cyclohexyl chloride the C-Cl bond is SP3 Hybridised . Since sp2 has more s character and more electronegative than sp3.

Answer 2

Answer: this is because in chlorobenzene sp2 hybrid orbitals of carbon atom are used for bonding in case of cyclohexyl chloride sp3 hybrid orbitals are used for bonding with chlorine atom . The sp2 hybrid orbitals are more electronegative than sp3 hybrid orbitals due to which the polarity of C-Cl bond is more in case of cyclohexyl chloride.
