Arrange the following in the correct order of dipole moment.
As we learnt
Nature of C-X bond -
Carbon atom bear partial positive charge and halogen atom bear negative charge.
- wherein
Dipole Moment=charge x distance between atoms since C-F bond length is too low, so its dipole moment is less than C-Cl bond.
CH3F has highest electronegativity{q} but its size is way too small,that is why it has lesser dipole moment than ,no doubt
is bigger in size than
but its charge is very less than
that is why it has less dipole moment and CH3I even lesser.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
