Best Answer

Nitrogen trifluoride ia a polar compound, with a small dipole moment of 0.234 debye. F has a higher electrnegativity than N , with a 0.94 difference. The lone pair will also cause a small dipole in the opposite direction to the polar bonds. This accounts for the small net dipole moment
