Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 16
Question 16 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 2)
Given below are two statements:
Statement-I: Since fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen, the net dipole moment of $NF _3$ is greater than $NH _3$.
Statement-II: In $NH _3$, the orbital dipole due to lone pair and the dipole moment of $NH$ bonds are in opposite direction, but in $NF _3$ the orbital dipole due to lone pair and dipole moments of $N-F$ bonds are in same direction.
In the light of the above statements. Choose the most appropriate from the options given below.
(1) Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
(2) Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
(3) Both statement I and Statement II is are true.
