Which one of the following has highest dipole moment ? (i) `CH_(2) Cl_(2) " " (ii) CH Cl_(3) " " (iii) C Cl_(4)`

Answer» `CH_(2) Cl_(2)` has high dipole moment (`mu = 1.62 D`) among the three alkyl halides .
Reason : The total of two `C - Cl` dipole moments is reinforced by the total of two `C-H` bonds .
`to C Cl_(4)` has zero dipole moment `, CH Cl_(3)` has 1.03 D dipole moment due to presence of C-H bond .
