Q. A neutral molecule $XF_3$ has a zero dipole moment. The element X is most likely

The p-Block Elements

Solution:

$BF_3$ 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.
