QJEEM23Ch1907: JEE Main 2023 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM23Ch1907 Solution: The pair from the following pairs having both compounds with…
The pair from the following pairs having both compounds with net non-zero dipole moment is
Multiple Choice Options
- A cis-butene, trans-butene
- B CH2Cl2, CHCl3
- C Benzene, anisidine
- D 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, 1,3-Dichlorobenzene
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The correct option from the pairs having both compounds with a net non-zero dipole moment is:
Option A: cis-butene has a net dipole moment because the two alkyl groups are on the same side of the molecule, causing an imbalance in the distribution of electrons. However, trans-butene is symmetric, so the dipole moments of the two alkyl groups cancel each other out, giving it a net dipole moment of zero. Therefore, this pair does not have both compounds with a net non-zero dipole moment.
Option B: Both (dichloromethane) and (chloroform) have a net non-zero dipole moment due to the difference in electronegativity between the hydrogen and chlorine atoms. Hence, this pair has both compounds with a net non-zero dipole moment.
Option C: Benzene has a symmetrical structure, leading to a net zero dipole moment. Anisidine, however, does have a net dipole moment due to the asymmetry in its structure. Therefore, this pair does not have both compounds with a net non-zero dipole moment.
Option D: has a symmetrical structure, leading to a net zero dipole moment. However, has a non-zero dipole moment due to the asymmetry in its structure. Therefore, this pair does not have both compounds with a net non-zero dipole moment.
