Question

The highest dipole moment is of: (A)  CF4 (B)  CH3OH  (C)  CO2 (D)  CH3F

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

CF 4 is tetrahedral and CO 2 is linear. They are symmetrical molecules with zero dipole moment. Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. Hence, the dipole moment of CH 3 F is more than CH 3 OH.

Q. The highest dipole moment is of:

$C F_{4}$

$C H_{3} O H$

$C O_{2}$

$C H_{3} F$

$C F_{4}$ is tetrahedral and $C O_{2}$ is linear. They are symmetrical molecules with zero dipole moment. Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. Hence, the dipole moment of $C H_{3} F$ is more than $C H_{3} O H$ .

Q. The highest dipole moment is of:

CF4​

CH3​OH

CO2​

CH3​F

CF4​ is tetrahedral and CO2​ is linear. They are symmetrical molecules with zero dipole moment. Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. Hence, the dipole moment of CH3​F is more than CH3​OH.

$C F_{4}$

$C H_{3} O H$

$C O_{2}$

$C H_{3} F$

$C F_{4}$ is tetrahedral and $C O_{2}$ is linear. They are symmetrical molecules with zero dipole moment. Fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen. Hence, the dipole moment of $C H_{3} F$ is more than $C H_{3} O H$ .
