Question

Quality answer needed

Explain why the
dipole moment of cyclohexane is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Two reasons :

1)  in case of chlorobenzene carbon to which chlorine chlorine is attached is SP2 hybridized and is more electronegative than the corresponding carbon in cyclohexyl chloride which is SP3 hybridised show the dipole moment is lower than chlorobenzene.

2)

in chlorobenzene c-cl

Has partially double bond characters so it's bond length is smaller.

the dipole moment is more than cyclohexyl chloride which has longer c-cl single bond.

I Hope This Will Help Uh Saurav !

Answer 2

Explanation:

In in chlorobenzene bond c-cl

has partially double character due to resonance so it's bond length smaller.

hence the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is smaller than is cyclohexyl chloride which has longer c-cl single bond .
