Select the structures which have a permanent dipole moment?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

A molecule has permanent dipole moment if its bond dipoles do not cancel due to symmetry.

  • (a) Phenol → O–H bond is polar, structure is unsymmetrical → μ ≠ 0
  • (b) Dihydroxy benzene → two O–H dipoles do not cancelμ ≠ 0
  • (c) Chlorobenzene → C–Cl bond is polar, unsymmetrical → μ ≠ 0
  • (d) p-Xylene (two CH₃ opposite) → symmetric, dipoles cancel → μ = 0

Answer: (a), (b), (c)
