Which of the following will have maximum dipole moment?

Which of the following will have maximum dipole moment?
  1. NF3
  2. NCl3
  3. NBr3
  4. NH3

Solution

So we know the concept of dipole moment that it is depends on the charge and distance between central atom and side atoms

But the charge is more prominent then distance

It is determining as polar and non polar molecules

It is used for covalent or ionic molecule

μnet = 0 It is for non polar molecule

μnet 0 it is for polar molecule

So from above theory we conclude that

NH3 molecule has maximum dipole moment
