Chapter 1, Problem 85P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The direction of the dipole in Csp2-Csp3 bond and the most electronegative carbon are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The tendency of atom to attract the electrons towards itself is known as electronegativity. In the periodic table, electronegativity increases across the period and decreases down the group. The covalent bond that exists between two atoms in which electrons are distributed in an unequal amount is known as polar bond. Due to this unequal distribution of electrons, the molecule will possess the dipole moment in which one end will have partial positive charge and other end will have partial negative charge.
