Final Answer: NF3 is polar, therefore the correct answer is OptionB.
Water is the most polar molecule among the given molecules. This is because of the high electronegativity difference between the atoms of water...
Carbon dioxide CO2 has polar bonds but is a nonpolar molecule. The structure of CO2 is linear. The individual bond dipoles cancel each other as they point in opposite direction and are equal in magnitude. Hence, the molecule is non polar with zero dipole moment.
A: Water is more polar than ammonia. Its strong polarity explains why its melting and boiling points are high even for a polar covalent compound.
The greater the electronegativity difference between the bonding atoms, the more polar the bond. F is the most electronegative of these elements and C is the least electronegative, therefore the bond between them is the most polar bond.
XeF2 is nonpolar in nature because of its linear-shaped geometry having fluorine atoms symmetrically on both sides of the xenon atom. However Xe-F bond is polar because the electronegativity of Xe and F is different but the polarity of both Xe-F bonds gets canceled by each other resulting in a nonpolar XeF2 molecule.
polar moleculeSodium Chloride (NaCl) which is an ionic compound acts as a polar molecule. Usually, the large difference in electronegativities in sodium and chlorine makes their bond polar.
The molecule that contains a polar covalent bond is c. H-F because it consists of fluorine and hydrogen atoms which have electronegativity differences...
