Which of the following compounds has the highest dipole moment \((D)\) ?

  1. A \(\mathrm{HBr}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{COCl}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCH}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \text { (a) Dipole moment of HBr } \] \[ \text { (b) Dipole moment of acetone }\] due to methyl group, (ERG) lies in direction of oxygen therefore, net dipole moment increases. \[\mu_{\text {net }}=2.69 \mathrm{D} \] (c) Dipole moment of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\)…
