Answer:
In the carbonyl group (> C = O),
the \[\pi -\]electron pair is loosely held and can be readily shifted to the
oxygen atom. It is not the case with the alcoholic (O-H) group. Therefore,
carbonyl compounds are more polar and have higher dipole moment values (2.3 ?
2.8D) than the alcohols (1.6 ? 1.8D). For more details, consult section 13.7.
