The molecules that will have dipole moment are:

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, D
Solution:

A molecule has a dipole moment if it contains polar bonds and its geometry results in a net separation of charge.

 

2,2-dimethylpropane and 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane are symmetrical alkanes with nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds, resulting in no net dipole moment.

 

cis-3-hexene has a cis configuration around the double bond, leading to a net dipole moment due to the vector sum of bond dipoles.

 

trans-2-pentene has a trans configuration, but the substituents on the double bond are different (methyl and ethyl groups), leading to a net dipole moment.

 

Therefore, cis-3-hexene and trans-2-pentene will have dipole moments.
