c) Incorrect. CH4 is a tetrahedral molecule.
Each of the bonds is polarized toward the carbon atom. Adding together
any two bond dipoles
gives a subtotal sum halfway between them directed toward the central carbon
atom. When the two subtotal sums are added, they will cancel
each other out (identical forces directed head-to-head) and the molecule
is nonpolar. CH3Cl is a tetrahedral molecule. Each
of the three C-H
bonds is polarized toward the carbon atom while the C-Cl bond is polarized
toward the chlorine atom. Adding together two C-H bond
dipoles gives a subtotal sum halfway between them directed toward the central
carbon atom. Adding together the third C-H bond and the
C-Cl bond dipoles gives a subtotal sum which won't cancel out the other
subtotal sum (since the combination is different) thus the molecule
is polar.
