Which behavior arises in fluoromethane due to bonding?

A)Increased dipole moment near carbon
B)Reduced electron density at hydrogen
C)Decreased C-F bond dissociation energy
D)Enhanced dispersion forces throughout molecule

💡 Explanation

The **hybridization** of carbon's atomic orbitals with fluorine's orbitals causes a significant charge separation and thus increased dipole moment. This occurs because fluorine is highly electronegative, therefore it has a large partial negative charge rather than even distribution.
