Question #1
Which of the following molecules has a net dipole moment of zero due to its geometry?
A. ClF3
B. NF3
C. H2S
D. BF3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
BF3 has a trigonal planar geometry with bond angles of 120 degrees. The three B-F bond dipoles are equal in magnitude and symmetrically arranged, so their vector sum cancels out completely, resulting in a net dipole moment of zero. H2S is bent, NF3 is pyramidal, and ClF3 is T-shaped.
