Which of the following molecules will have polarbonds but zero dipole moment ?

Question

Which of the following molecules will have polarbonds but zero dipole moment ? (A) NH3 (B) SF4 (C) CF4 (D) F2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The C-F bonds in CF4 are polar bonds, because of difference in electronegativity of C-atom and F-atom. But due to regular geometry of the molecule, the polar bonds cancel the effect of each other, therefore μ = 0 .

Q. Which of the following molecules will have polarbonds but zero dipole moment ?

$N H_{3}$

$S F_{4}$

$C F_{4}$

$F_{2}$

The C-F bonds in $C F_{4}$ are polar bonds, because of difference in electronegativity of C-atom and F-atom. But due to regular geometry of the molecule, the polar bonds cancel the effect of each other, therefore $μ$ = 0 .
