Question

Which has greater dipole moment chlorobenzene or cyclohexyl chloride?

Answer 1

Answer:

In chlorobenzene, the chlorine atom is attached to sp2chybridized carbon atom. In cyclohexyl chloride, the chlorine atom is attached to sp3 hybridized carbon atom. Hence chlorobenzene is more electronegative than cyclohexyl chloride and hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than cyclohexyl chloride.
