Dear student Mr. Mayank; Dipole moment in CH3F is less than CH3Cl as bond length is shorter in CH3F Hence: CH3Cl > CH3F > CH3Br > CH3I Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can. If you find any question Difficult to understand - post it here and we will get you the answer and detailed solution very quickly. We are all IITians and here to help you in your IIT JEE & AIEEE preparation. All the best. Regards, Askiitians Experts Pramod Kumar IITR Alumni

So boiling point is proportional to intermolecular forcesThen it will be like that the dipole moment is highest for CH3f and not ch3cla nd ch3cla is the right andDon`t hesitate to ask any doubtAlia Bhatt personal assistant9282728388

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

Dipole moment in CH3F is less than CH3Cl as bond length is shorter in CH3F
Hence: CH3Cl > CH3F > CH3Br > CH3I

Thanks and Regards
