Question

Explain why (1) the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride?



Tell me ur name with ur real pic​

Answer 1

Answer:

Moreover, the - R effect of the benzene ring of chlorobenzene decreases the electron density of the C - Cl bond near the Cl-atom. As a result, the polarity of the C - Cl bond in chlorobenzene decreases. Hence, the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride.

Answer 2

$explanation$

The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is less than cyclo hexyl chloride as in chloro benzene C-Cl bond is sp2 hybridised where as in cyclohexyl chloride the C_cl bond is Sp3 Hybridised . as sp2 has more s character and more electronegative than sp3. Chlorobenzene is less polar than cyclohexyl chloride.
