Question

The electronegativity difference between N\text{N} and F\text{F} is greater than that between N\text{N} and H\text{H}, yet the dipole moment of NH3\text{NH}_3 (1.5 D) is larger than that of NF3\text{NF}_3 (0.2 D). This is because:

A

in NH3\text{NH}_3 as well as in NF3\text{NF}_3 the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction

B

in NH3\text{NH}_3 the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction whereas in NF3\text{NF}_3 these are in opposite directions

C

in NH3\text{NH}_3 as well as NF3\text{NF}_3 the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in opposite directions

D

in NH3\text{NH}_3 the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the opposite directions whereas in NF3\text{NF}_3 these are in the same directions
