JEE Main Chemistry question

Dipole moment is shown by

(A)-1,2-dichloroethene
(B)-1,2-dichloroethene
(C)-1,2-dichloro-2-pentene
(D)Both (A) and (C)Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

In -1,2-dichloroethene, the molecule is symmetric (a mirror-image arrangement of identical Cl and H atoms across the double bond), so the bond dipoles cancel and it has zero net dipole moment. In -1,2-dichloroethene, the two C–Cl dipoles point in a similar overall direction and do not
