View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
CH3Cl,β€…β€ŠCH3F,β€…β€ŠCH3Br\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{Cl},\mathrm{\;C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{F},\mathrm{\;C}{\mathrm{H}_3}\mathrm{Br}
Option B is correct because dipole moment depends on both electronegativity difference and bond length. Although F is more electronegative than Cl, the C-Cl bond is longer, resulting in a higher dipole moment for CH3Cl.
