Which substance has a dipole moment?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

${CH}_{2} {Cl}_{2}$ is similar to ${CH}_{4}$ (tetrahedral) but it has three different bond angles. $HCH, HCCl, ClCCl,$ which are close to but not equal to $109.5 ° .$ Since, electronegativity of $Cl > C > H$ the bond dipole moments do not cancel and the molecule has a dipole moment.
