Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Why methylene chloride has larger molecular dipole moment than chloroform

Concept introduction:

Dipole moment is the electric dipole that is present in the molecule.  Dipole moment in a molecule depends upon the bonds present in it.  The compound may be with a neutral charge but then too it can possess net molecular dipole moment as the push and pull of bonds doesn’t get cancelled completely. The electronegativity of the connected atoms in a bond determines in which direction the expected dipole moment will be.  The dipole moment will be directed towards the high electronegative atom in the bond.

To find: The net molecular dipole moment
