    Which of the following is a polar molecule?

    A) \[\text{B}{{\text{F}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    B) \[\text{S}{{\text{F}}_{\text{3}}}\]

    C) \[\text{Si}{{\text{F}}_{4}}\]

    D) \[\text{Xe}{{\text{F}}_{4}}\]

    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.
