Vedclass · Answer

(D) $BF_3$ has a trigonal planar geometry with $sp^2$ hybridization. Due to its symmetry,the individual bond dipole moments cancel each other out,resulting in a net dipole moment of $0$ (non-polar).$NF_3$ has a trigonal pyramidal geometry with $sp^3$ hybridization and one lone pair on the nitrogen atom. Due to the presence of the lone pair and the difference in electronegativity,the bond dipoles do not cancel out,resulting in a net dipole moment (polar).

List-$I$ (Molecule)	List-$II$ (Dipole moment in $D$)
$A. HCl$	$I. 1.07$
$B. NH_3$	$II. 1.85$
$C. H_2O$	$III. 0.23$
$D. NF_3$	$IV. 1.47$

$BF_3$ and $NF_3$ are both covalent compounds. However,$BF_3$ is non-polar,while $NF_3$ is polar because .....
