Vedclass · Answer

(C) molecule is polar if it has a non-zero net dipole moment. $IF_7$ has a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with a net dipole moment of $0$. $SF_6$ has an octahedral geometry with a net dipole moment of $0$. $PCl_5$ has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with a net dipole moment of $0$. $PCl_3$ has a trigonal pyramidal geometry due to the presence of one lone pair on the phosphorus atom,which results in a non-zero net dipole moment. Therefore,$PCl_3$ is a polar molecule.

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