Question

Identify the compound with the lowest dipole moment. Identify the compound with the lowest dipole moment. CH3CH2CH3 CH3OCH3 CH3CHO CH3OH CH3CN

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3CH2CH3

Explanation:

Dipole moment is the measure of the polarity of a chemical bond. It is the extent of charge separation in a molecule.

Dipole moment is the product of the magnitude of charge and the distance separating the charges from each other.

The molecule having the lowest dipole moment among the options is the molecule that has the least polarity. The least polar molecule among the options is CH3CH2CH3, it has no polar bonds in its structure.
