Which one of the following has the highest dipole moment?
(i) `CH_(2)Cl_(2) , (ii) CHCl_(3) , (iii) C Cl_(4)`

Text Solution

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)** ...
