  • question_answer
    Which one of the following arrangements of molecules is correct on the basis of their dipole moments?

    A) \[B{{F}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}>N{{F}_{3}}\]

    B) \[B{{F}_{3}}>N{{F}_{3}}>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    C) \[N{{H}_{3}}>B{{F}_{3}}>N{{F}_{3}}\]

    D) \[N{{H}_{3}}>N{{F}_{3}}>B{{F}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Both \[N{{F}_{3}}\] and \[N{{H}_{3}}\] have identical shape and a lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. The dipole moment of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] is higher than \[N{{F}_{3}}\] due to different directions of moments of the N - F and N - H bond. BF is a symmetrical molecule. It has zero dipole moment.
