The dipole moment of `CH_3F` is greater than that of `CH_3Cl`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why the dipole moment of CH₃F is greater than that of CH₃Cl, we need to analyze the factors that contribute to the dipole moment in these molecules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dipole Moment**: The dipole moment (μ) is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule. It is calculated using the formula: \[ \mu = q \times d ...
