The dipole moment of a molecule is a measure of the separation of the centres of positive and negative charge within the molecule. If a position charge + Q is separated from a negative charge –Q by a distance r, the dipole moment ( μ ) has a magnitude of,
μ = Qr. The dipole moment μ is a vector pointing from the negative charge to the positive charge with a negative charge to the positive charge with a magnitude of | μ |. The unit dipole moment is Debye

(i)
Sol. The bond distance of C–F bond is lesser than the bond distance of C–Cl bond.
(ii)
Sol. The dp. moment of (X) = 1.7 √ 3 D The dp. moment of (Y) = Zero
(iii)
Sol. – 0.97 D
(iv)
Sol. H–Cl bond moment is directed to the H because of the smaller size of H.
