Q. Which of the following has been arranged in order of decreasing dipole moment?

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Dipole moment depends on the electronegativity of the elements as it is the product of charge on one of the ions and the distance between them. Dipole moment of $CH_3Cl$ is greater than $CH_3F$ due to more charge separation, (a fact)
