Chapter 21, Problem 113E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

“The structure of molecules which have two carbons and two chlorine atoms out of that three have no dipole moment and two have dipole moment” should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Electronegativity of any atom in a molecule or compound responsible for the dipole moment or polarity of chemical bond within the molecule. As the charge separation distance in a molecule increases the dipole moment decreases.

Given:

Molecules having two carbons and two chloride atoms.
