which has more dipole moment , SbH3 or NH3 and why ??

Solution

Dipole moment of a molecule depends on the difference in electronegativity values of the constituent atoms.
In case of NH₃ and SbH₃ it will depend on electronegativity values of N and Sb as H atom is common in both case.

As electronegativity of N is higher than Sb the N-H bond will be more polar and hence NH₃will have a higher dipole moment than SbH₃
