Solution
Comparing Dipole moments of given compounds
The order of the dipole moment among the given compounds are:
CH3CH2CH3<CH3CH2NH2<CH3CH2OH
Propane has the least dipole moment because carbon and hydrogen have little difference in the electronegativity.
The electronegativity of the oxygen atom is higher than nitrogen. So, ethanol will have a higher dipole moment as compared to ethyl amine.
