Among CH3OH, CH4, CF4, CO2 and CH3F, which has the highest dipole moment?

CH₄, CF₄ (both tetrahedral), and CO₂ (linear) are symmetrical molecules. Their dipole moment is zero. Since fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, the dipole moment of CH₃F is higher that of CH₃OH. Thus, among CH₃OH, CH₄ CO₂ and CH₃F, CH₃F has the largest dipole moment.
