The correct answer is:
4 < 3 < 1 < 2
The charge separation in bond decreases in the order
due to decrease in the electronegativity as we more from .
has higher dipole moment than , because of larger bond length of bond. The larger bond length causes dipole moment to be larger for than . In case of other haloalkanes, the effect of larger bond length cannot outweigh the effect of decreased charge separation.
