Which one of the following has the highest dipole moment? (i) (ii) (iii)
Solution:
has the highest dipole moment. The reason for it can be understood by looking into the structure of the given compounds. (i) has a symmetrical structure such that the bond dipole moments cancel out each other while the dipole moments reinforce each other and thus contribute to a net moment.
(ii) has a perfectly tetrahedral structure where the net dipole of 3 C – Cl bonds point in a direction opposite to the fourth C – Cl bond and thus results in zero dipole moment.
(iii) In net moment of reinforces the dipole moment of and therefore has the highest dipole moment.
