Answer» All the five P-Cl bonds are identical in `PCl_(5)` Both `NF_(3)` and `NH_(3)` molecules have trigonal pyramidal shape, but hte former has lower dipole moment than latter. In `NF_(3)` molecule, F being more electronegative than N the electron pairs are ATTRACTED more towards the FLUORINE atom. Hence themoment of the lone pair electrons on N atom and N-F bond moment act in opposite direction. As a result the resultant dipole moment is lowered. On the other hand in `NH_(3)` molecule N being more electronegative than H the bond pair electrons are attracted more towards nitrogen atom. Hence the moment due ot lone pair electrons on N-atom and the N-H bond moments act in the same direction. As a result the resultant dipole moment of `NH_(3)` is much highr than `NF_(3)` |
