    Directions : In the following question more than one of the answers given may be correct. Select the correct answer and mark it according to the code:

    The molecules that have non-zero dipole moment, are (1) trans-2-butene (2) trans-2-pentene (3) 2, 2, 3, 3-tetramethyl butane (4) cis-3-hexene

    A)  1, 2 and 3 are correct

    B)  1 and 2 are correct

    C)  2 and 4 are correct

    D)  1 and 3 are correct

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Dipole moment is zero for symmetrical molecule. Tran5-2-pentene and cis-3-hexene, being unsymmetric, have some dipole moment. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mu \ne 0 \\  trans-2-pentene \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{3}}C-{{H}_{2}}C-\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  H \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,-C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\] \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mu \ne 0 \\  cis-3-hexene \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,=\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  H \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C}}\,C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
