Answer:

The bond dipole μ is given by: μ=δd. The bond dipole is modeled as +δ — δ- with a distance d between the partial charges +δ and δ-. ... In your case, acetone has a higher dipole moment than ethanol because it has a carbonyl group more towards the center and thus acetone has lesser boiling point than ethanol.
