11. The dipole moment of the C-Cl bond is 1.67 and the dipole moment of the C-F

Question

11. The dipole moment of the C-Cl bond is 1.67 and the dipole moment of the C-F bond is 1.65. This is best explained by A. C-CI has a smaller charge separation than C-F due to electronegativity B. The C-F bond is more polar than the C-CI bond C. Dipole moment is determined by charge separation and bond length-C-F has higher charge separation and C-Cl is a longer bond Dipole moment is determined by charge separation and bond length - C-F has higher charge separation and C-Cl is a shorter bond Either A or D offer the best explanation D. E.

Explanation / Answer

11)

dipole moment = charge * d

charge separation is more in C-F due to high electronegativity of F

but C-Cl has greater value of d because of larger bond length of -Cl

option C is best explanation

Answer: C
