Chapter 21, Problem 21.6P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

On the basis of the relative boiling point of 2butanone and methyl acetate, the compound having the greater dipole moment is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is used to measure the polarity of the bond in the molecule. It is defined as the product of the separation of charges and its magnitude. It is represented as shown below.

μ=δd

Dipole moment and boiling point are directly proportional to each other.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason as to why 2butanone has greater dipole moment with the help of vector analysis is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dipole moment is used to measure the polarity of the bond in the molecule. It is defined as the product of the separation of charges and its magnitude. It is represented as shown below.

μ=δd
