The molecule which has zero dipole moment is

Question

The molecule which has zero dipole moment is (A) CH3Cl (B) NF3 (C) BF3 (D) ClO2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The molecules having distorted geometry have dipole moment and those having regular geometry have zero dipole moment. ∵ NH3, CH3Cl and ClO2 have distorted geometry.∴ They have dipole moment. ∵ BF3 has regular triangular planar geometry and thus, the dipole moment ofBF3 is zero.
