in CH,—Cl.
(ii) The dipole moment of chlorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyi
chloride.
(iii) $1 reactions are accompanied by racemization in optically active ally,
halides.
Ans. (i) It is due to partial double bond character in three out of five Tesonating
structures, therefore, bond length is shorter than C—Cl (Single bond,
in CH,Cl and each carbon is sp® hybridised.
(i) Chlorobenzene is stabilized by resonance and there is +ve charge on ‘Cr
in 3 out of 5 resonating structures, therefore, it has lower dipole moment
than cyclohexyl chloride in which there is no such +ve charge.
(ii) Sy1 mechanism: When optically active alkyl halide undergoes S\1

5, Give reasons:
(a) Butyl bromide has higher boiling point than t-butyl bromide.
(b) Racemic mixture is optically inactive.
(c) The presence of nitro group (-NO,) at o/p positions increases the reactivity
of haloarenes towards nucleophilic substitution reactions. [Delhi]
. (a) It is because n-butyl bromide is a straight chain alkyl halide which has
more surface area than t-butyl bromide, therefore, more van der Waals’
forces of attraction, hence higher boiling point.
(b) Racemic mixture contains equal amount of dextro and laevo rotatory
compounds. Half of molecules rotate plane polarised light towards
left, remaining half towards right such that net optical rotation is zero.
Therefore, Racemic mixture is optically inactive.
(© -NO, stabilises the -ve charged ion formed during nucleophilic substitution
reactions of haloarenes, therefore, increases reactivity.
