Question

Which of the following molecule has highest dipole moment ?

Options

A.B2H6
B.NF3
C.NH3
D.BF3

Solution

BF3 and B2H6 being none-polar molecules do not show dipole moment. in NF3, The electronegative F pulls the electron toward itself due to which bond moments of the three N - F bonds is opposite to that of lone pair while in NH3 bond moments of the N - H bonds are in same are in same direction to that of lone pair.
           
Hence, bond moments add up in NH3 resulting in highest dipole moment among the given options.
