The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given molecules have a zero dipole moment, we need to analyze the molecular geometry and the arrangement of the substituents. A molecule has a zero dipole moment if the dipole moments of the individual bonds cancel each other out due to symmetry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Cis-1,2-dichloroethene**: - Structure: Cl on the same side of the double bond. - Analysis: The dipole moments from the two Cl atoms do not cancel out because they are on the same side. - Conclusion: **Non-zero dipole moment**. 2. **Trans-1,2-dichloroethene**: - Structure: Cl on opposite sides of the double bond. - Analysis: The dipole moments from the two Cl atoms cancel each other out due to symmetry. - Conclusion: **Zero dipole moment**. 3. **1,1-dichloroethene**: - Structure: Both Cl atoms on the same carbon. - Analysis: The dipole moment from the Cl atom does not have a counterpart to cancel it out. - Conclusion: **Non-zero dipole moment**. 4. **Trans-2-pentene**: - Structure: CH3 and CH2 groups on opposite sides of the double bond. - Analysis: The dipole moments from the two different groups cancel each other out due to symmetry. - Conclusion: **Zero dipole moment**. 5. **Cis-2-pentene**: - Structure: CH3 and CH2 groups on the same side of the double bond. - Analysis: The dipole moments do not cancel out as they are on the same side. - Conclusion: **Non-zero dipole moment**. 6. **1-butyne**: - Structure: A terminal alkyne. - Analysis: The molecule is not symmetrical and has a dipole moment due to the terminal hydrogen and the carbon chain. - Conclusion: **Non-zero dipole moment**. 7. **2-butyne**: - Structure: A symmetrical alkyne with CH3 groups on both sides. - Analysis: The dipole moments cancel each other out due to symmetry. - Conclusion: **Zero dipole moment**. 8. **Trans-2-butene**: - Structure: CH3 groups on opposite sides of the double bond. - Analysis: The dipole moments from the two CH3 groups cancel each other out due to symmetry. - Conclusion: **Zero dipole moment**. 9. **Cis-2-butene**: - Structure: CH3 groups on the same side of the double bond. - Analysis: The dipole moments do not cancel out as they are on the same side. - Conclusion: **Non-zero dipole moment**. ### Summary of Molecules with Zero Dipole Moment: - **Trans-1,2-dichloroethene** - **Trans-2-pentene** - **2-butyne** - **Trans-2-butene** ### Final Answer: The molecules that have a zero dipole moment are: - Trans-1,2-dichloroethene - Trans-2-pentene - 2-butyne - Trans-2-butene
