Question

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 :

Accepted Answer

Statement I is false but Statement II is true
