The dipole moment of chloromethane is higher than that of fluoromethane.(a) True(b) FalseI got this question in class test.This question is from Haloarenes Physical Properties in division Haloalkanes and Haloarenes of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right choice is (a) True

To elaborate: Although the F atom is much more electronegative than Cl, the very SMALL SIZE of F COMPARED to Cl results in the product of CHARGE and distance, i.e., DIPOLE moment, of CH3F to be lower than that of CH3Cl.
