Question

For each of the pairs of alkenes below, indicate whether measurements of polarity alone would be sufficient to distinguish the compounds from one another. If so, which is more polar?

a. НАС X Map A O The net dipoles are indistinguishable. The net dipole of 1-butene is stronger than the net dipole of trans-2-butene The net dipole of trans-2-butene is stronger than the net dipole of 1-butene CH3 H3C b. H3C FR | -CH3 H3C The net dipole of cis hex-2-ene is stronger than the net dipole of cis hex-3-ene. The net dipoles are indistinguishable. The net dipole of cis hex-3-ene is stronger than the net dipole of cis hex-2-ene. CH3 H3C w The net dipole of cis hex-2-ene is stronger than the net dipole of trans hex-3-ene. The net dipoles are indistinguishable. The net dipole of trans hex-3-ene is stronger than the net dipole of cis hex-2-ene. H3C

Answer 1

CH 3 The net dipole I-butene is toer than the net dipole of trms -butene 3 3 H4 The net depoles are indistinguishable 3 The net dipole of cts hex-2-ene is shrongesr than the net depole of trms hex-s-ene.
