MCQ
A neutral molecule $XF_3$ has a zero dipole moment. The element $X$ is most likely
- Achlorine
- ✓boron
- Cnitrogen
- Dcarbon
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
boron
b
$BF_3$ has planar and symmetrical structure thus as a result the resultant of two bond moments, being equal and opposite to the third, cancels out and hence molecule possess zero dipole moment.
