NH3 has a pyramidal structure and the individual N-H bonds gives the resultant dipole moment as 1.49 D so it has a non- zero value of orientation polarization whereas in case of BF3 it has a symmetrical structure due to which dipole moments of the bonds cancel out each other giving net dipole moment zero.
Orientation polarization is a polarization arising from the orientation of molecules which have permanent dipole moments arising from an asymmetric charge distribution. It is also known as dipole polarization.
NH3 has a non-zero value for orientation polarization.
NH3 has a non-zero value for orientation polarization.
