Complete the sentences to explain why the molecule ch3f is polar.
2 answers:
Answer:
Yes is polar.
Explanation:
We know in polar molecules the Vector sum of all the individual bond dipole is non zero.
We know is a
hybridized molecule. Therefore, its configuration is tetrahedral with 3
bonds and on
bond .
Since fluorine is much electronegative than hydrogen. Therefore, dipole moment of bond is more than dipole moment of
bond.
Therefore, vector addition of all the bonds in hybridization is non zero due to which
is polar.

Explanation:
Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:
Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.
Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.
However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.
Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.
Thus, the major product will A
