Trans-2-butene has no dipolement , while trans-2-pentane has non zero value. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


In trans-2-butene the polarity of `C-CH_(3)` groups opposes each other, because of molecular symmetry. Hence has no dipole moment.

In trans-2-pentene, the polarities of `C-CH_(3)` and `C-C_(2)H_(5)` groups do not cancel each other. Hence there is a net dipole moment.
