Question

Among the following the molecule with the highest dipole moment is

  1. C H subscript 3 end subscript C l    
  2. C H subscript 2 end subscript C l subscript 2 end subscript    
  3. C H C l subscript 3 end subscript    
  4. C C l subscript 4 end subscript    

The correct answer is: C H subscript 3 end subscript C l


    The dipole moment of a polar molecule depends upon its geometry. A symmetrical molecule is non-polar even though it contain polar bonds. Methane molecule left parenthesis C H subscript 4 end subscript right parenthesis has zero moment value of dipole moment due to its symmetrical structure.
    In C H C l subscript 3 end subscript, the resultant of C – H and C – Cl dipole oppose the resultant of two C – Cl dipoles while in C H subscript 2 end subscript C l subscript 2 end subscript, the resultant of C – H dipoles adds to resultant of two C – Cl. In case C H subscript 3 end subscript C l comma the resultant of two C – H dipole adds to the resultant of two C – Cl. In case C H subscript 3 end subscript C l the resultant of two C – H dipoles add to the resultant of C – H and C – Cl dipoles.
    Thus dipole moment of C H subscript 3 end subscript C l is highest among the given compounds. The molecule (C C l subscript 4 end subscript) again becomes symmetrical and dipole moment reduces to zero.
