Easy MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2020

The dipole of CCl4, CHCl3 and CH4 are in the order :

  1. A CCl<sub>4</sub> &lt; CH<sub>4</sub> &lt; CHCl<sub>3</sub>
  2. B CH<sub>4</sub> = CCl<sub>4</sub> &lt; CHCl<sub>3</sub> Correct answer
  3. C CH<sub>4</sub> &lt; CCl<sub>4</sub> &lt; CHCl<sub>3</sub>
  4. D CHCl<sub>3</sub> &lt; CH<sub>4</sub>= CCl<sub>4</sub>

Solution

CHCl<sub>3</sub> is polar while CH<sub>4</sub> and CCl<sub>4</sub> are nonpolar. <br><br>So, dipole moment order is : <br><br> CH<sub>4</sub> = CCl<sub>4</sub> &lt; CHCl<sub>3</sub>
