occur with aq. Acid. Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why 1,2-dimethylcyclohexene undergoes only trans-addition with HBr in non-polar solvents but both cis- and trans-additions occur with aqueous acid, we can break down the reaction mechanism into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction Context**: - 1,2-Dimethylcyclohexene is an alkene that can react with HBr. The reaction involves the addition of HBr across the double bond of the alkene. 2. **Mechanism in Non-Polar Solvents**: ...

Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation , q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is debye. One debye is equal to 10^(-18) esu cm. Dipole moments is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the geometry of a molecules. Dipole moment values can be distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers, ortho, meta and pare-forms of a substance, etc. Q. Which is a polar molecule?
