Carbon tetrachloride, dipole moment

The influence of temperature on the mean dipole moment of polybutyl methacrylate dissolved in carbon tetrachloride is shown in Table II. The average moments were calculated from Frohlich s equation (see Section VI) taking unity as the most probable value of the correlation factor. Since the Onsager theory makes use of the refractive index of the solute, for which only approximate values can be found, results obtained by Onsager s and FrOhlich s theories for solutions are not identical even in a nonpolar solvent like carbon tetrachloride. The moments given in Table II are not comparable to those given in Table I, especially as they are not extrapolated to infinite dilution. 

The unequal distribution of charge produced when elements of different electronegativities combine causes a polarity of the covalent bond joining them and, unless this polarity is balanced by an equal and opposite polarity, the molecule will be a dipole and have a dipole moment (for example, a hydrogen halide). Carbon tetrachloride is one of a relatively few examples in which a strong polarity does not result in a molecular dipole. It has a tetrahedral configuration... 

Carbon tetrachloride with four polar C—Cl bonds and a tetrahedral shape has no net dipole moment because the result of the four bond dipoles as shown m Figure 1 7 is zero Dichloromethane on the other hand has a dipole moment of 1 62 D The C—H bond dipoles reinforce the C—Cl bond dipoles...

In each case the left-hand atom of the pair as written is the least electronegative. Since dipole moments have direction as well as magnitude it is necessary to add the moments of each bond vertically. For this reason the individual dipole moments cancel each other out in carbon tetrachloride but only partially in chloroform. In other molecules, such as that of water, it is necessary to know the bond angle to calculate the dipole moment. Alternatively since the dipole moment of the molecule is measurable the method may be used to compute the bond angle. 

Nonpolar molecules such as H, N, O, I, and Cl have zero dipole moments, because e = 0. On the other hand, hydrogen fluoride, HF, has a large dipole moment of 1.75 Debye and so is strongly polar. Simple carbon compounds with symmetric arrangement of like atoms (e.g., methane, CH, and carbon tetrachloride,CCl.,) have zero dipole moments and so are nonpolar. 

If the four atoms attached to the central atom in a tetrahedral molecule are the same, as in tetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride), CCI4 (30), the dipole moments cancel and the molecule is nonpolar. However, if one or more of the atoms are replaced by different atoms, as in trichloromethane (chloroform), Cl ICI, or by lone pairs, as in NH3, then the dipole moments associated with the bonds are not all the same, so they do not cancel. Thus, the CHCI, molecule is polar (31). 

Compounds with high dielectric constants such as water, ethanol and acetonitrile, tend to heat readily. Less polar substances like aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons or compounds with no net dipole moment (e. g. carbon dioxide, dioxane, and carbon tetrachloride) and highly ordered crystalline materials, are poorly absorbing. 

According to the electrostatic model the solvation is due to electrostatic interaction between the charged ions and the dipolar solvent molecules. Thus the solvating and ionizing properties of a solvent are considered as being due primarily to the dipole moment of the solvent molecules. Thus, ionic compounds such as sodium chloride are insoluble in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride. Actually, rather than the dipole moment the field action of the dipoles should be considered. This approach might explain why acetonitrile (p = 3.2) is poor in its ionizing properties compared to water (p = 1.84). However, no numerical values are available for this quantity. 

Bond polarity in a molecule can often be measured by a dipole moment, expressed in Debye imits (D). However, the physical measurement provides only the overall dipole moment, i.e. the snm of the individual dipoles. A molecule might possess bond polarity without displaying an overall dipole if two or more polar bonds are aligned so that they cancel each other out. The C-Cl bond is polar, but although chloroform (CHCI3) has a dipole moment (1.02 D), carbon tetrachloride (CCI4) has no overall dipole. Becanse of the tetrahedral orientation of the dipoles in carbon tetrachloride, the vector sum is zero.

The dipole moment of 2,2 -bipyridine in benzene or carbon tetrachloride has been reported as less than 0.68, 0.91, 0.69, and 0.61 d. Because the conformation with the two nitrogen atoms transoid to each other should have a zero dipole moment and the cisoid configuration a value of 3.8 D, the consensus is that the molecule is in the transoid conformation and is approximately planar in solution with an angle of about 20° between... 

Molar Kerr constants mK and dipole moments squared of polytoxyethylene giycoils (POEG) and polyjoxyethylene dimethyl ether)s (POEDE) are reported in the isotropically polarizable solvents carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, and dioxane. Data for mK/x for POEG appear to reach an asymptotical value, Calculations of mK/x and /x based on the RIS model show good agreement with the experimental results. 

The dipole moments of molecules are often treated as being equal to the vector sum of the bond dipoles of the various bonds in the molecules. It is almost impossible to measure the dipole moment of an individual bond within a molecule. For example, molecules such as methane, carbon tetrachloride, and p-dichlorobenzene have no dipole moments, whereas molecules such as methylene chloride and m-dichlorobenzene do. The vector sum treatment could be made to agree quantitatively with all known dipole moments if the bond moments were treated as variables that depend on the nature of the particular molecule in which the bonds were located. 

For one-carbon halogenated aliphatics, the dipole moment decreases as the number of chlorines increases. The dataset consists of chloromethane, dichloromethane, chloroform, and carbon tetrachloride. The dipole moment represented 85.89% of the variance in the linear regression equation therefore, the probability of getting a correlation of -0.9268 for a sample size of three is between 5 and 10% ... 

Polarity is the extent to which a substance, at molecular level, is characterized by a non-symmetrical distribution of electron density. Polarity is often expressed as dipole moment, which is a function of the magnitude of the partial charges on the molecule, and the distance between the charges. Substances that have larger dipole moments have greater polarity than substances with lower dipole moments. Water and acetone, for example, have dipole moments of 1.85 and 2.80, respectively. Benzene and carbon tetrachloride are nonpolar and have dipole moments of zero. 

Theoretical calculations on the /Fdithietane 1,3-dioxide 3 =, sy -dithietane 1,3-dioxide 4 equilibrium in the gas phase at HF/6-31G level show that the anti-isomer 3 is slightly favored (by ca. 0.27 kcal moF1) over the, sy -isomer 4. The antijsyn-ratio is 1.6, with a ry -concentration of 36%. Due to different dipole moments of the anti 3 and syn 4, the solvents of low and medium-high polarity such as carbon tetrachloride, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exert a strong influence on the antisyn interconversion, producing an increase in the ry -concentration <2001BOC57>. 

Molecules of 1,3,5-trinitrobcnzene or p- dinitrobenzene have no electric dipole moments but they have moments in solutions where molecular compounds are formed. For example they have no moments in carbon tetrachloride or chloroform, but they do have moments in benzene, naphthalene, or dioxane. 

Carbon tetrachloride (CC14) has zero dipole moment, yet its boiling point is higher than that of chloroform (/x = 1.0 D). Clearly, there must be some kind of force other than dipole-dipole forces holding the molecules of carbon tetrachloride together. 

In nonpolar molecules such as carbon tetrachloride, the principal attractive force is the London dispersion force, one of the van der Waals forces (Figure 2-24). The London force arises from temporary dipole moments that are induced in a molecule by other nearby molecules. Even though carbon tetrachloride has no permanent dipole moment, the electrons are not always evenly distributed. A small temporary dipole moment is induced when one molecule approaches another molecule in which the electrons are slightly displaced from a symmetrical arrangement. The electrons in the approaching molecule are displaced slightly so that an attractive dipole-dipole interaction results.
