Vedclass · Answer

(B) molecule is polar if its net dipole moment $(\mu)$ is not equal to zero $(\mu 
eq 0)$.In $BF_3$,$CO_2$,and $CH_4$,the molecules are highly symmetrical,leading to the cancellation of individual bond dipoles,resulting in $\mu = 0$.In $C_2H_5-F$ (fluoroethane),the molecule is asymmetrical due to the presence of the electronegative fluorine atom attached to the ethyl group,which creates a permanent dipole moment. Therefore,$\mu 
eq 0$ and the compound is polar.
