Summary
Dipole moment measurements have been made for the following formyl and acetyl derivatives, namely, formhydrazide, acethydrazide, acetaldoxime, acetoxime and formamidoxime in dioxan solution. The values obtained are 2·70, 3·15, 0·75, 0·88 and 2·24 (all in Debye units) respectively. The structure of the first four compounds have been discussed with particular reference to hyperconjugation. In the case of formamidoxime the results lead to an amidoxime structure.
