The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of compounds among the given list that have a zero dipole moment, we need to analyze each compound based on its molecular geometry and symmetry. A molecule has a zero dipole moment if the individual bond dipoles cancel each other out due to symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds:** The compounds given are: - CCl₄ (Carbon Tetrachloride) - CH₃Cl (Methyl Chloride) - CH₂Cl₂ (Methylene Chloride) - CHCl₃ (Chloroform) - o-Dichlorobenzene - m-Dichlorobenzene - p-Dichlorobenzene - Benzyl Chloride - Benzal Dichloride - Benzotrichloride 2. **Analyze CCl₄:** - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral - **Symmetry:** The four Cl atoms are symmetrically arranged around the central C atom. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles cancel out. - **Conclusion:** CCl₄ has a zero dipole moment. 3. **Analyze CH₃Cl:** - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to one Cl atom and three H atoms. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipole does not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** CH₃Cl does not have a zero dipole moment. 4. **Analyze CH₂Cl₂:** - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to two Cl atoms and two H atoms. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles do not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** CH₂Cl₂ does not have a zero dipole moment. 5. **Analyze CHCl₃:** - **Geometry:** Tetrahedral - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to three Cl atoms and one H atom. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles do not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** CHCl₃ does not have a zero dipole moment. 6. **Analyze o-Dichlorobenzene:** - **Geometry:** Planar - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to the position of the Cl atoms. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles do not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** o-Dichlorobenzene does not have a zero dipole moment. 7. **Analyze m-Dichlorobenzene:** - **Geometry:** Planar - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to the position of the Cl atoms. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles do not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** m-Dichlorobenzene does not have a zero dipole moment. 8. **Analyze p-Dichlorobenzene:** - **Geometry:** Planar - **Symmetry:** Symmetrical due to the two Cl atoms being opposite each other. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles cancel out. - **Conclusion:** p-Dichlorobenzene has a zero dipole moment. 9. **Analyze Benzyl Chloride:** - **Geometry:** Planar - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to the presence of one Cl atom. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipole does not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** Benzyl Chloride does not have a zero dipole moment. 10. **Analyze Benzal Dichloride:** - **Geometry:** Planar - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to the presence of two Cl atoms. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles do not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** Benzal Dichloride does not have a zero dipole moment. 11. **Analyze Benzotrichloride:** - **Geometry:** Planar - **Symmetry:** Asymmetrical due to the presence of three Cl atoms. - **Dipole Moment:** The dipoles do not cancel out. - **Conclusion:** Benzotrichloride does not have a zero dipole moment. ### Final Count: The compounds with zero dipole moments are: - CCl₄ - p-Dichlorobenzene **Total Compounds with Zero Dipole Moment: 2**

To determine the total number of compounds among the given list that have a zero dipole moment, we need to analyze each compound based on its molecular geometry and symmetry.
