Question

The dipole moments of CCl , CHCl and CH are in the order: 4 3 4 4 4 3 3 4 4 4 4 3 4 4 3 4 4 net 3 net

(A) CH  < CCl  < CHCl
(B) CHCl  < CH  = CCl
(C) CH  = CCl  < CHCl
(D) CCl  < CH  < CHCl

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

All the three compounds possess a tetrahedral geometry. In both CCl and CH , µ =0, whereas in CHCl , µ > 0.
