Among the following, the molecule with the highest dipole moment is :

A

`CH_(3)Cl`

B

`CH_(2)Cl_(2)`

C

`CHCl_(3)`

D

`C Cl_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As the number of halogen atoms increases, symmetry tends to increase and hence the dipole moment decreases. Thus, methyl chloride being least symmetrical has the highest dipole moment.
