Question

What is the dipole moment of benzanilide?

Answer 1

and yes i googled it

Answer 2

The dipole moment will be at the carbonyl carbon towards the more electronegative element (O) there is also another dipole towards the N. I believe

Answer 3

do you know the number in debyes (D)

Answer 4

Nope. I'm not even sure how to really calculate that. Sorry

Answer 5

I drew the molecule in Avogadro. The program estimates the dipole moment to be 3.924 D.

Answer 6

How would would calculate that without a computer program though?

Answer 7

I don't know that you can... There are a lot of complex forces at work. Avogadro is free, though. :-)
