Chlorobenzene has a lower dipole potential than cyclohexyl chloride because the C-Cl bond in chlorobenzene is sp2sp2 hybridised, whereas the C-Cl link in cyclohexyl chloride is sp3sp3 hybridized. Because sp2sp2 has a higher s character and is more electronegative than sp3sp3, it is more electronegative. Compared to cyclohexyl chloride, chlorobenzene is less polar.
