Question

What is the Dipole Moment Of ClF3

Answer 1

Answer:

the formula ClF3 . ... because, if the molecule had a trigonal planar structure, the molecule would be symmetric with dipoles that cancel out and produce a net dipole of zero (i.e., a nonpolar molecule), which is not consistent with the observation that the ClF3 molecule does have a dipole moment .

Answer 2

here the dipole moment will be zero for clf3 because the three dipoles are in t shaped which do not cancel out each other and hence the compound is Polar
