The dipole moments of $\mathrm{CCl}_4, \mathrm{CHCl}_3$ and $\mathrm{CH}_4$ are in the order :
Select the correct option:
A
$\mathrm{CCl}_4<\mathrm{CH}_4<\mathrm{CHCl}_3$
B
$\mathrm{CHCl}_3<\mathrm{CH}_4=\mathrm{CCl}_4$
C
$\mathrm{CH}_4=\mathrm{CCl}_4<\mathrm{CHCl}_3$
D
$\mathrm{CH}_4<\mathrm{CCl}_4<\mathrm{CHCl}_3$
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Incorrect. Try again or view the solution.
Solution
$\mathrm{CHCl}_3$ is polar while $\mathrm{CH}_4$ and $\mathrm{CCl}_4$ are nonpolar.
So, dipole moment order is :
$\mathrm{CHCl}_3>\mathrm{CH}_4=\mathrm{CCl}_4$
