Question
Chemistry Question on The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) Theory
Molecule having least dipole moment is:
A
(CH3)2CH2
B
CH2=CH−C≡CH
C
CH3CH2C≡CH
D
H3C⋅C≡C−CH3
Answer
H3C⋅C≡C−CH3
Explanation
Solution
H3C⋅C≡C⋅CH3 has zero dipole inoment due to symmetrical structure with linear geometry. Hence, its dipole moment is the least among these.
