Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 1,3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

1 . The \(\mathrm{BF}_3\) molecule has a symmetrical trigonal planar geometry, the moment of any two B-F dipoles is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the moment of the \(\mathrm{BF}_3\) molecule is zero. Same as \(\mathrm{CO}_2\). 2. In…
