The order of dipole moment of the following molecules isA. `CHCl_(3) gt CH_(2)Cl_(2) gt CH_(3)Cl gt C Cl_(4)`B. `CH_(2)Cl_(2) gt CH_(3)Cl gt CHCl_(3) gt C Cl_(4)`C. `CH_(3)Cl gt CH_(2)Cl_(2) gt CHCl_(3) gt C Cl_(4)`D. `CH_(2)Cl_(2) gt CHCl_(3) gt CH_(3)Cl gt C Cl_(4)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - D `C Cl_(4)` has zero dipole moment because of symmetric tetrahedral structure. `CH_(3)Cl` has slightly higher dipole moment which is equal to 1.86 D . Now `CH_(3)Cl` has less electronegativity then `CH_(2)Cl_(2)`. But `CH_(2)Cl_(2)` has greater dipole moment than `CHCl_(3)`. |
