Detailed Solution

The dipole moment of a polar molecule depends upon its geometry. A symmetrical molecule is non-polar even though it contain polar bonds. Methane molecule CH4 has zero value of dipole moment to its symmetric structure. We know that the bond dipole moment of CH bond of CCl bond reinforce one another.

In CHCl3the resultant of CH and CCl dipoles while in CH2Cl2, the resultant of C - H dipoles adds to resultant of two CCl In case is highest among the given compounds. The molecule CCl4 again becomes symmetrical and dipole moment reduces to zero.
