The correct sequence of dipole moments among the chlorides of methane is-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
The resultant dipole moment of three C–H bonds = 0.4 D.
Net dipole moment = 1.9 D
The resultant of two C–H bonds
= 
= 
= 0.18 D
The resultant of two C – Cl bonds.
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 0.678
µ cal = 0.858 D but experimentally for CH 2 Cl 2 , µ = 1.59 D.
The resultant of three C – Cl bonds = 1.5 D
Experimental dipole moment of CHCl 3 = 1.15 D
