Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which has a higher dipole moment between alkyl cyanides and alkyl isocyanides, we can analyze the molecular structure and electronegativity of the involved atoms. ### Step 1: Understand the Structures - **Alkyl Cyanide**: The general structure can be represented as R-C≡N, where R is an alkyl group and C≡N indicates a carbon triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. - **Alkyl Isocyanide**: The general structure can be represented as R-N≡C, where R is an alkyl group and N≡C indicates a nitrogen triple-bonded to a carbon atom. ### Step 2: Analyze Electronegativity - The electronegativity of nitrogen (N) is approximately 3.0. ...
