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 CH3Cl is greater than CH3F due to more charge separation, (a fact)

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

$C H_{3} Cl > C H_{3} F > C H_{3} B r > C H_{3} l$

$C H_{3} F > C H_{3} Cl > C H_{3} B r > C H_{3} l$

$C H_{3} Cl > C H_{3} B r > C H_{3} l > C H_{3} F$

$C H_{3} F > C H_{3} Cl > C H_{3} l > C H_{3} B r$

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 $C H_{3} Cl$ is greater than $C H_{3} F$ due to more charge separation, (a fact)
