Select all sets that correctly describe the Lewis structure, the contribution of bond dipole moments and non-bonding pairs of electrons to the molecular dipole moment, and an estimation of the magnitude of the dipole moment for compounds CH2=NCH3, CH3OH and CCl4.

(1) Small molecular dipole moment.                     (2) Small molecular dipole moment.

Lewis structure of CH3OH with bond dipole moments indicated.                                       Lewis structure of CCl4 with bond dipole moments indicated.

(3) Large molecular dipole moment.                 (4)  Small molecular dipole moment.
