Question

Dipole moment of $N{H}_3$ is ________ than $N{F}_3.$

• A. medium
• B. less
• C. more
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

more

Dipole moment of $N{H}_3$ is more than $N{F}_3$. Because in $N{H}_3$, the Nitrogen is more electronegativity than the hydrogen, so electron density shift towards nitrogen. On the other hand, in $N{F}_3$, the electron equally distributed to the three fluorine atoms as it has more electronegative than nitrogen.

The correct option is C.
