Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 445
Dipole moment is shown by a vector pointing from the negative to the positive charge
Options:
A) 1, 4-dichlorobenzene
B) $ cis $ 1, 2-dichloroethene
C) $ trans $ 1, 2-dichloroethene
D) $ trans $ 3, 4-dichloro-3-hexene
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
cis isomer shows dipole moment while that of trans is zero or very low value. Trans 1,2-dichloro-2-pentene will not show dipole moment due to symmetry.
