Which among the following has larger dipole moment?justify
But-1-ene or But-1-yne
Dear Student,
But-1-yne will be more electronegative than But-1-ene. This is because the C in but-1-yne is sp hybridised which is more electronegative than the C in but-1-ene which is sp2 hybridised. Greater electronegativity means greater electronegative difference and thus higher dipole moment.
So, the answer will be but-1-yne.
But-1-yne will be more electronegative than But-1-ene. This is because the C in but-1-yne is sp hybridised which is more electronegative than the C in but-1-ene which is sp2 hybridised. Greater electronegativity means greater electronegative difference and thus higher dipole moment.
So, the answer will be but-1-yne.
