Solution

The correct options are
A $P C l_{2} F_{3}$
C $N O_{2}$
D $O_{3}$
(a) $P C l_{2} F_{3}$ has a TBP geometry and hence, $μ_{n e t} \neq 0$

(b) $X e F_{4}$ has a planar geometry and hence, $μ_{n e t} = 0$
(c) $N O_{2}$ is bent and hence, $μ_{n e t} \neq 0$
(d) $O_{3}$ is bent and hence, $μ_{n e t} \neq 0$
