Question

dipole moment of the following compound is o​

Answer 1

Answer:

The decreasing order of dipole moment is

(ii)>(i)=(iii)=(iv)>(v)=(vi)

The dipole moments of (v)=(vi)=0B.M because the individual bond dipoles cancel each other.

The dipole moments of (i)=(iii)=(iv)

In these molecules, the bond dipole of only one C−Cl bond is not cancelled whereas the bond dipole of all other C−Cl bonds is cancelled.

(ii) has highest dipole moment because the bond dipole of all three C−Cl bonds is not cancelled.
