Which from following molecules exhibits lowest dipole moment?
Options
- ACH ₃ ~F
- BCH ₃ Cl
- CCH ₃ Br
- DCH ₃ I
Correct answer
D. CH ₃ I
Step-by-step solution
As the electronegativity of halogen decreases down the group, the C - X bond dipole moment decreases. Therefore, the dipole moment order is: CH ₃ ~F CH ₃ Cl CH ₃ Br CH ₃ I
