Question

Among the following, which dipole moment do you predict? If the resultant dipole moment $\text{μ}$ of two compound $NOF$ and $NO_{2}F$ is 1.81 D and 0.47D.

• A. 1.81D for $NO_{2}F$ and 0.47D for $NOF$ .
• B. 0.47D for $NO_{2}F$ and 1.81D for $NOF$ .
• C. For both $NO_{2}F$ and $NOF$ , dipole moment $\left(\mu \right)$ is 0.61D.
• D. For both $NO_{2}F$ and $NOF$ , dipole moment $\left(\mu \right)$ is 0.81D.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

NOF has lone pair while $NO_{2} \, F$ has no lone pair
