QNEET-2013-Ch-1468: NEET 2013 Chemistry - Class 11 NEET-2013-Ch-1468 Solution: Which of the following is a polar molecule? \(SiF_4\) \(XeF_4\) …
Which of the following is a polar molecule?
Multiple Choice Options
- A SiF 4
- B XeF 4
- C BF 3
- D SF 4
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
The given molecules SiF 4 , XeF 4 , and BF 3 are symmetric molecules that is why due to cancellation of bond dipoles they are non-polar even though they contain polar
bonds.
But in SiF 4 there are four Si�F bonds and one lone
pair due to which its structure is unsymmetrical.
Hence, it is a polar molecule.
