It is calculated as the product of the magnitude of the charge and the distance between the charges.<\/h3>\n<h3>In chloromethane, the chlorine atom is more electronegative than the carbon and hydrogen atoms, causing a partial positive charge on the carbon and a partial negative charge on the chlorine. This results in a dipole moment of about 1.6 D.<\/h3>\n<h3>In fluoromethane, the fluorine atom is even more electronegative than chlorine, creating a larger difference in electronegativity between the carbon and fluorine atoms. This leads to a larger separation of positive and negative charges and a higher dipole moment of about 2.9 D.<\/h3>\n<h3>Therefore, fluoromethane has a higher dipole moment compared to chloromethane due to the larger electronegativity difference between the carbon and fluorine atoms.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question 5:Out of the Chloromethane and Fluoromethane , which one is has higher dipole moment and why?
