Question
Given below are two statements: Statement-I: Since fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen, the net dipole moment of NF3 is greater than NH3. Statement-II: In NH3, the orbital dipole due to lone pair and the dipole moment of NH bonds are in opposite direction, but in NF3 the orbital dipole due to lone pair and dipole moments of N-F bonds are in same direction. In the light of the above statements. Choose the most appropriate from the options given below. (A) Statement I is true but Statement II is false. (B) Both Statement I and Statement II are false. (C) Both statement I and Statement II is are true. (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is are true.
