Answer to Question #79524 in Inorganic Chemistry for Rishika

Question #79524

Compare the dipole moment of the following: O nitrophenol O dichlorobenzene O xylene

According to me, o dichlorobenzene should have the highest dipole moment since the angle will be acute but in o nitrophenol it will be obtuse. And o xylene should have the least since the dipole strength would be lesser as compared to others but surprisingly the order is: O nitrophenol(3.01D)>o dichlorobenzene(2.67D)> o xylene(0.64D) How?(data collected from internet)
