Dipole moment of o-dichlorobenzene is `"less" // "more"` than that of m-dichlorobenzene.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the dipole moment of o-dichlorobenzene is less or more than that of m-dichlorobenzene, we can analyze the molecular structures and the orientation of the dipole moments in each compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - **o-Dichlorobenzene**: In this compound, the two chlorine atoms are positioned adjacent to each other on the benzene ring (1,2-dichlorobenzene). - **m-Dichlorobenzene**: In this compound, the chlorine atoms are separated by one carbon atom on the benzene ring (1,3-dichlorobenzene). ...
