Question

Why haloalkane are more polar than chlorobenzene

Answer 1

Answer:

due to dipole moment.

Explanation:

haloalkanes has more dipole moment than chlorobenzene ...

I think so...

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Dipole moment= charge*distance

You might think that fluorobenzene should have more dipole moment than chlorobenzene as fluorine is more electronegative than chlorine . but this is not the case . dipole moment is also directly proportional to the distance b/w both atoms or groups. As chlorine is largaer in size hence bond distance b/w C-Cl is more tha bond distance b/w C- F nd hence the dipole moment . this property is true in all chloro , fuloro - alkanes,alkenes,alkynes,arenes and benzenes.
