Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) II, III only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(I) In \(\mathrm{BF}_3\), electronegativity of \(\mathrm{F}\)-atom is greater than \(B\). In \(\mathrm{NH}_3\), electronegativity of \(\mathrm{N}\)-atom is greater than \(\mathrm{H}\). Therefore, direction of all dipole moment with lone pairs lies in same direction, hence net…
