the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride. explain why?

the dipole moment of chlorobenzene is less than that of cyclohexyl chlorideas benzene is electron rich and chlorine is also electron rich thus the elctronegativity differences is not muchand in cyclohexyl chloride the alkyl group (cyclohexyl) is electron withdrawing group and chlorine is electron rich thus there is a higher dipole of ccyclohexyl chloride than that in chlorobenzene
