Why dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
In chlorobenzene, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom(more 's' character). In cyclohexyl chloride, the chlorine atom is attached to hybridized carbon atom (less's' character than hybridized carbon atom). Hence chlorobenzene is more electronegative than cyclohexyl chloride. Therefore, the density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom is less in chlorobenzene than cyclohexyl chloride.
The density of electrons C-Cl bond at chlorine atom in chlorobenzene decreases due to the -R effect of the benzene ring which is not in cyclohexyl chloride. Due to this polarity of the C-Cl bond decreases and hence dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than cyclohexyl chloride.

What is the intermolecular forces for lithium fluoride?
Lithium chloride is a very hygroscopic ionic chloride sat. It is NOT molecular in the solid or in solution. It is a diatomic molecule in the gas phase and has a high dipole moment due to the difference in electronegativity between Li and Cl, intermolecular forces in the gas phase will be dipole -dipole and dispersion forces.
