Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The correct form of dichloroethylene needs to be matched with its corresponding electrostatic potential map.
Concept introduction:
The molecule is said to be polar if there is an electronegative difference between two atoms in the molecule. The more electronegative atom gets partial negative charge and less electronegative atom gets a partial positive charge.
(b)
Interpretation:
The form of dichloroethylene with dipole moment 2.39 D and dipole moment 0 D needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The molecule is said to be polar if there is an electronegative difference between two atoms in the molecule. The more electronegative atom gets partial negative charge and less electronegative atom gets a partial positive charge.
(c)
Interpretation:
The form of dichloroethylene with a higher boiling point needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The polarity or dipole moment in the molecule plays an important role in determining the boiling point of the molecule.
