    Which of the following is a polar molecule?                                                                         [NEET 2013]

    A)  \[B{{F}_{3}}\]            

    B)       \[S{{F}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[Si{{F}_{4}}\]            

    D)       \[Xe{{F}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Symmetrical molecules are generally non-polar although they have polar bonds. This is because bond dipole of one bond is cancelled by that of the other. \[B{{F}_{3}},Si{{F}_{4}}\] and\[Xe{{F}_{4}}\] being symmetrical as non-polar. \[S{{F}_{4}}\] is unsymmetrical because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons. Due to which it is a polar molecule.
