The dipole moments of `CH_(3)F, CH_(3)Cl and CH_(3)Br` are in the order :

A

`CH_(3)F gtCH_3Cl gt CH_3Br`

B

`CH_(3)Cl gt CH_(3)Br gt CH_(3)F`

C

`CH_(3)Cl gt CH_(3)FgtCH_3Br`

D

`CH_(3)Br gt CH_(3)Cl gt CH_(3)F`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

C

Dipole moment calculated for `CH_(3)Cl` bond is slightly higher than `CH_(3)F` bond. This is due to large size of chlorine.
