Question

Which of the following halomethanes definitively exhibits the mathematically highest net dipole moment ($\mu$)?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

Dipole moment depends on both charge and bond distance ($\mu = q \times d$). The significantly longer $C-Cl$ bond length mathematically overrides the slightly higher electronegativity of fluorine, making $CH_3Cl$ highly anomalous with the highest dipole moment.
