Question

Assertion (A): NF3 has a smaller dipole moment than NH3 although fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. Reason (R): In NF3 the resultant of the N-F bond dipoles opposes the dipole due to the lone pair on nitrogen.

Accepted Answer

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer

A is true but R is false

Answer

A is false but R is true

Assertion (A): $NF X_{3}$ has a smaller dipole moment than $NH X_{3}$ although fluorine is more electronegative than hydrogen. Reason (R): In $NF X_{3}$ the resultant of the N-F bond dipoles opposes the dipole due to the lone pair on nitrogen.
