In dichloromethane, CH2Cl2 (μ= 1.60 D), the dispersion force contribution to the intermolecular attractive forces is about five times larger than the dipole–dipole contribution. Compared to CH2Cl2, would you expect the relative importance of the dipole–dipole contribution to increase or decrease

(a) in dibromomethane (m = 1.43 D), (b) in difluoromethane (μ= 1.93 D)? (c) Explain.
