Question

Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing dipole moment.

(I)Toluene (II) m - dichlorobenzene

(III)o - dichlorobenzene (IV)p - dichlorobenzene

• A. I<IV<II<III
• B. IV<I<II<III
• C. IV<I<III<II
• D. IV<II<I<III

Answer 1

The correct option is B

IV<I<II<III

The correct order of increasing dipole moment is

p-dichlorobenzene < Toluene < m-dichlorobenzene < o-dichlorobenzene.
