Why the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The polarity of Cal bond in chlorobenzene is less than that of same bond in cyclohexyl chloride because of carbon atom involved in chloro benzene more electro negative (greater-s-character) as compound to the carbon atom in cyclohexyl chloride. So, the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is less with respect to cyclohexyl chloride.
