Which has highest dipole moment?

Question

Which has highest dipole moment? (A) HH big> C=O (B) H3CH3C big> C=C big C=C big C=C big

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Due to the large difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen atoms, there is a greater charge separation, hence highest dipole moment is of HCHO among the given compounds .

Q. Which has highest dipole moment?

$_{H}^{H} ⟩ C = O$

$_{H_{3} C}^{H_{3} C} ⟩ C = C ⟨_{H}^{H}$

$_{H_{3} C}^{H} ⟩ C = C ⟨_{H}^{C H_{3}}$

$_{H_{3} C}^{Cl} ⟩ C = C ⟨_{Cl}^{C H_{3}}$

Q. Which has highest dipole moment?

HH​⟩C=O

H3​CH3​C​⟩C=C⟨HH​

H3​CH​⟩C=C⟨HCH3​​

H3​CCl​⟩C=C⟨ClCH3​​
