Compare the dipole moments of the compounds in the following pairs.
`CHCl_3 , C Cl_4`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To compare the dipole moments of CHCl3 (chloroform) and CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride), we need to analyze the molecular structures and the electronegativity of the atoms involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Molecular Structures**: - **CHCl3**: This molecule consists of one carbon atom (C), one hydrogen atom (H), and three chlorine atoms (Cl). The structure can be visualized as a central carbon atom bonded to three chlorine atoms and one hydrogen atom. - **CCl4**: This molecule consists of one carbon atom (C) bonded to four chlorine atoms (Cl). The structure is symmetrical, with chlorine atoms arranged around the carbon atom. ...
