The dipole moment of CH3F is greater than that of CH3Cl.

Question

The dipole moment of CH3F is greater than that of CH3Cl. (A)  (B)  (C)  (D)

Dipole moment (μ ) = q.d Since electronegativity of F and Cl are very close, it is the intemuclear distance (d) that decides dipole moment here. Hence, C - Cl bond has greater dipole moment the C-F bond.

Q. The dipole moment of $C H_{3} F$ is greater than that of $C H_{3} Cl$ .

Dipole moment ( $μ$ ) = q.d
Since electronegativity of F and Cl are very close, it is the intemuclear distance (d) that decides dipole moment here.
Hence, C - Cl bond has greater dipole moment the C-F bond.
