Question

Which molecule has the greatest dipole moment
Options
A CH3Cl
B CH3Br
C CH3F
Correct Answer
D CH3I
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The dipole moment is determined by both the electronegativity difference and bond length. Fluorine is the most electronegative, resulting in the largest bond dipole for C-F compared to C-Cl, C-Br, and C-I.

Hint

Which halogen is the most electronegative?
