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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
F
Dipole moment `(mu)=q.d`
Since electronegativity of F and Cl are very close, it is the internuclear distance (d) that decides dipole moment here. Hence, `C-Cl` bond has greater dipole moment the C-F bond.
