Chapter 1: Q74P (page 49)

Which compound has a larger dipole moment: CH3Cl or CH2Cl2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Dipole moment of CHCl3 is greater than CH2Cl2 as all the bond moments are acting in the same direction in the former one.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of dipole moment

Dipole moment is defined as the multiplication of charge of an atom and the distance between the two atoms joined by a bond.

It is given as the formula.

Dipole moment=charge(e) X distance between two atoms (d)

02

Explanation of the dipole moment between two bonds

In case of CHCl3, all the bond moments acts on the same side, but for CH2Cl2, One C-H bond moment direction is opposite than the other three bonds moments of C-Cl and C-H. Which decreases te total dipole moment of the compound. So, the dipole moment for CHCl3 becomes greater than CH2Cl2.
