The compound with no dipole moment is .

A

`CH_(3)Cl`

B

`C Cl_(4)`

C

Methylene chloride `(CH_(2)Cl_(2))`

D

chloroform `(CHCl_(3))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Dipole moment is vector quantity When vetor sum of all dipoles in molecule will be zero then molecule will not have net dipole momnet
(ii) For net dipole moment to be equal to zero all the atoms attached to central atom must be identical and geometry must be regualar Therefore carbon tetrachloride having regular geometry and identical atoms attached to bonds has zero dipole moment .
