Dipole moment order of which of the following pairs of molecules is not correct?
Options
- AHF > HCl
- BH ₂ ~S > CO ₂
- CNH ₃> NF ₃
- DCH ₄> CHCl ₃
Correct answer
D. CH ₄> CHCl ₃
Step-by-step solution
CH ₄ has a tetrahedral shape and is symmetrical so, its dipole moment is zero. But in CHCl ₃ presence of the one atom produce small dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment of chloroform is greater than methane.
