Chapter 8, Problem 8.56AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The dipole moment of the chair conformation of $\text{1, 4-dioxane}$ is zero is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is the product of the charge-separated and the distance between the separated charges. Its unit is Debye (D). It is a vector quantity having its direction from electropositive element to the electronegative element.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The dipole moment of the $\text{1, 4-dioxane}$ is not zero. An explanation for this is to be stated.
