Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the fact that the dipole moment of $\text{4-chloronitrobenzene}$ is less than the dipole moment nitrobenzene and the dipole moment of $p\text{-nitroanisole }$ is greater than that of nitrobenzene is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The dipole forces are attractive forces between two permanent dipoles. The interaction is between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule. The induced dipole interaction occurs when an ion or a dipole induces a temporary dipole in an atom or a molecule with no dipole. The induced dipole forces are the attraction forces between molecules having temporary dipoles.
