Dipole moment measures the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule. It depends on bond polarity and molecular geometry:
\(\text{CH}_3\text{Cl}\): Significant dipole moment due to one polar C-Cl bond and asymmetric geometry.
\(\text{CH}_2\text{Cl}_2\): Lower dipole moment as the two C-Cl bonds partially cancel each other.
\(\text{CHCl}_3\): Further reduced dipole moment due to three C-Cl bonds.
\(\text{CCl}_4\): No dipole moment due to perfect symmetry.
Thus, \(\text{CH}_3\text{Cl}\) has the highest dipole moment due to its single polar bond and lack of significant cancellation.
