Choose the polar molecule from the following :

Options

A ${CCl}_{4}$
B ${CO}_{2}$
C ${CH}_{2} = {CH}_{2}$
D ${CHCl}_{3}$

Correct answer

D. ${CHCl}_{3}$

Step-by-step solution

The solvents having an appreciable net dipole moment are known as polar solvents.

${CHCl}_{3}$ is polar due the presence of a net dipole moment. There is a difference in electronegativity of the central atom, carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. This will create a dipole in the molecule. As a dipole has formed in chloroform molecule, due to electronegativity difference, which makes it polar in nature.

Choose the polar molecule from the following :

Hence, option D is the answer.
