AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given compounds has the highest dipole moment, we will analyze the molecular structure and electronegativity of the atoms involved in each compound. ### Step 1: Understanding Dipole Moment Dipole moment is a vector quantity that measures the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule. It is influenced by the electronegativity of the atoms and the geometry of the molecule. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Compound We have three compounds to analyze: 1. **CH₂Cl₂ (Dichloromethane)** ...
