Chapter 10, Problem 10.36QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the permanent dipole moment of $\text{HCl}$ $\left(1.08\text{D}\right)$ is larger than the permanent dipole moment of $\text{HBr}$ $\left(0.82\text{D}\right)$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: Dipole moment is generated between two electrical charges of equal magnitude and opposite sign. Dipole moment of a molecule depends on its electronegativity. Boiling point increases on increasing the size of molecule.

To determine: An explanation corresponding to the fact that the permanent dipole moment of $\text{HCl}$ is larger than the permanent dipole moment of $\text{HBr}$.
