Question

Dipole moment of chlorobenzene is less then cyclohexylchloride

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

In chlorobenzene the C-Cl bond is $s{p}^2$ hybrised, while in cyclohexylchloride C-Cl bond is $s{p}^3$ hybridised. The $s{p}^2$ hybridised C atom in chlorobenzene is more electronegative and less polar. Hence, the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is less then cyclohexylchloride.
