Which one of the following has the highest dipole moment, and why?(a) CH2Cl2(b) CHCl3(c) CCl4

Answer»

CH2Cl2 has the highest dipole moment since both the Cl- atoms are present on one side (on the head) of c – atom and therefore cause a maximum dipole moment.

In CHCl3 and CCl4, two Cl – atoms and four Cl – atoms cancel out their dipole moments.
