Correct answer: B
- Idea to use
A molecule has net non-zero dipole moment if the bond dipoles do not cancel due to geometry/symmetry.
We must find the pair in which both compounds have non-zero dipole moments.
- Check Option A: cis-butene, trans-butene
This refers to cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene.
- In cis-2-butene, the bond dipoles are on the same side, so they do not cancel completely. Hence, dipole moment is non-zero.
- In trans-2-butene, the structure is symmetric and the bond dipoles cancel. Hence, dipole moment is zero.
So, both are not non-zero.
Therefore, Option A is incorrect.
- Check Option B: ,
Both are tetrahedral molecules.
- In , because two H and two Cl are attached to tetrahedral carbon, the bond dipoles do not cancel. So dipole moment is non-zero.
- In , three C–Cl bond dipoles and one C–H bond dipole also do not cancel completely. So dipole moment is non-zero.
Thus, both compounds have non-zero dipole moments.
Therefore, Option B is correct.
- Check Option C: Benzene, anisidine
- Benzene is highly symmetric, so its net dipole moment is zero.
- Anisidine (a substituted aromatic compound) generally has non-zero dipole moment.
Since benzene has zero dipole moment, both are not non-zero.
Therefore, Option C is incorrect.
- Check Option D: 1,4-Dichlorobenzene, 1,3-Dichlorobenzene
- In 1,4-dichlorobenzene (para), the two identical C–Cl dipoles are opposite and cancel due to symmetry. So dipole moment is zero.
- In 1,3-dichlorobenzene (meta), the dipoles do not cancel completely. So dipole moment is non-zero.
Hence, both are not non-zero.
Therefore, Option D is incorrect.
- Final conclusion
The only pair in which both compounds have net non-zero dipole moments is:
