Question

Among the following, the molecule with the lowest dipole moment is (A) CHCl3 (B) CH3Cl (C) CH2Cl2 (D) CCl4

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

CCl4 has lowest (zero) dipole moment. This is due to its symmetrical tetrahedral structure. Due to which dipole moment of one bond is cancelled by opposite dipole moment of the other three bonds.

Q. Among the following, the molecule with the lowest dipole moment is

$C H C l_{3}$

$C H_{3} Cl$
