Question

Explain the polarity of covalent dichloro benzene​

Answer 1

Answer:

1,2- and 1,3-Dichlorobenzenes are polar molecules while 1,4-dichlorobenzene is not since 1,4-isomer is symmetric. The polarity (measured by dipole moment) of either 1,2- and 1,3-isomers of dichlorobenzene is not high compared to water, ammonia or DMSO, but they are certainly polar molecules.

Answer 2

Answer:

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Explanation:

1,2 dichloro benzene or ortho di chloro benzene is non polar in nature while its isomer para dichloro benzene is polar (due to zero dipole moment).

Polar molecules occur when two atoms do not share electrons equally in a covalent bond.A dipole forms, with part of the molecule carrying a slight positive charge and the other part carrying a slight negative charge. This happens when there is a difference between the electronegativity of each atom.

example of Polar molecules: water, ammonia,sulphur dioxide,ethanol etc.

When molecules share electrons equally in a covalent bond there is no net electrical charge across the molecule.

In a nonpolar covalent bond, the electrons are evenly distributed. You can predict nonpolar molecules will form when atoms have the same or similar electronegativity.

examples: CO2, CH4,Benzene, CCl4 etc
