Q. The dipole moments of $CCl_{4},CHCl_{3}$ and $CH_{4}$ are in the order

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

The dipolemoment is zero for certain molecular geometries which are symmetric. Therefore, they will have no dipole even if the bonds are polar. These geometries include linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, octahedral and trigonal ​bipyramid. $CCl_{4},CHCl_{3}$ and $CH_{4}$ are in the order $CH_{4}=CCl_{4} < CHCl_{3}$ .
