To understand why the dipole moment of cis-C₂H₂Cl₂ is more than that of the trans isomer, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Structures of the Isomers - **Cis Isomer**: In the cis isomer of C₂H₂Cl₂, the two chlorine atoms are on the same side of the double bond. The structure can be represented as: ``` Cl | H--C==C--H ...
