A) Ethers
B) Alcohols
C) Carbonyl compounds
D) Carboxylic acids
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
The order of dipole moments Methanol has higher dipole moment than dimethyl ether because oxygen of \[O-H\] bond can withdraw electrons from H atom more easily as compare to oxygen of \[O-C\] bond, thus becomes more polar. Acetic acid and acetone has higher dipole moment than methanol, because both has a \[s{{p}^{2}}-\]hybridized oxygen atom which is more electronegative and electron withdrawing as electronegative and electron withdrawing as compare to \[s{{p}^{3}}-\]hybridized oxygen atom\[(C-O)\]. Whereas the small dipole moment of acetic acid as compare to acetone is due to the dispersion of negative charge between two oxygen atoms.You need to login to perform this action.
