We'll draw the three isomers of dichlorobenzene.
00:06
So we'll start with a benzene ring, and there's two chlorines.
00:11
So the first, we'll have them side by side.
00:14
This is the ortho isomer.
00:18
The next isomer, again, we'll start with the benzene ring, and they'll be arranged like this with one carbon in between.
00:26
This is the meta -isomer.
00:28
And the last isomer, we'll have the chlorines, two carbons apart.
00:37
And this is the para -isomer.
00:40
So since the carbon -chlorine bond is a polar bond, because chlorine is very electronegative, for the first orthoposition, these don't cancel each other out.
00:52
They actually add, and form a dipole that is in this direction.
00:57
So this would be polar.
01:02
So it does not have a non -zero dipole moment...
