Question

Which of the following are arranged in the decreasing order of dipole moment (A) CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3F (B) CH3Cl, CH3F, CH3Br (C) CH3Br, CH3Cl, CH3F (D) CH3Br, CH3F, CH3CI

Due to much smaller size of F than Cl, the dipole moment (i.e., product of charge and distance) of CH3F is lower than that of CH3Cl. Thus, option (b) is correct.

Q. Which of the following are arranged in the decreasing order of dipole moment

$C H_{3} Cl, C H_{3} B r, C H_{3} F$

$C H_{3} Cl, C H_{3} F, C H_{3} B r$

$C H_{3} B r, C H_{3} Cl, C H_{3} F$

$C H_{3} B r, C H_{3} F, C H_{3} C I$

Due to much smaller size of F than Cl, the dipole moment (i.e., product of charge and distance) of $C H_{3} F$ is lower than that of $C H_{3} Cl$ . Thus, option (b) is correct.
