Problem

The molecules CCl₄, CHCl₃, and CH₂Cl₂ all have tetrahedral arrangements around the central carbon atom. Rank them from smallest to largest net dipole moment. a) CCl4<CH2Cl2<CHCl3\text{CCl}_4 < \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 < \text{CHCl}_3 b) CCl4<CHCl3<CH2Cl2\text{CCl}_4 < \text{CHCl}_3 < \text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 c) CH2Cl2<CHCl3<CCl4\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 < \text{CHCl}_3 < \text{CCl}_4 d) CH2Cl2<CCl4<CHCl3\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2 < \text{CCl}_4 < \text{CHCl}_3
