If $Q$ is the magnitude of charge and $r$ is the distance between the centres of positive and negative charges,then the dipole moment $(\mu)$ is given by:

  • A
    $\mu = Q + r$
  • B
    $\mu = Q \times r$
  • C
    $\mu = \frac{Q}{r}$
  • D
    $\mu = Q - r$

Consider the following:
Assertion $(A)$: Dipole moment of $NF_3$ is lesser than $NH_3$.
Reason $(R)$: In $NF_3$,the orbital dipole due to lone pair of electrons is in the opposite direction to the resultant dipole moment of the three $N-F$ bonds.
