NH3 is more polar than NF3 because
a) there is a greater difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen than there is between nitrogen and fluorine.
b) the lone pair contribution in ammonia reinforces the dipole wheras in NF3 the bond dipoles oppose th effect of the lone pair

Is nf3 a covalent or ionic?
Covalent. NF3 is the fluoride equivalent of ammonia (NH3).
Why NH3 is more basic than NF3?
NH3 is the most stable and simplest of compounds. This is a gas with no color and a very pungent smell to it. NF3 is an inorganic compound. The NF3 has no color, no odor, no toxicity, and is not flammable.
What type of covalent bond is formed in nitrogen molecule?
Nitrogen will form a non polar bond to another nitrogen, a polar bond to other atoms with different electronegativity. In NH3 N is the most electronegative, in NF3 it is F that is the most electronegative.
Is NH3 polar or non-polar?
Since NH3 has an free electron pair, it would be considered polar.
Why is the boiling point of AsH3 lower thanNH3?
NH3 is more polar than AsH3, this is the same as comparing H2O and H2S.

Is ammonia mlecule NH3 more polar than water molecule?
no, water is more polar than ammonia.
Which is more polar NH3 or H2O?
h2o

Why is phosphine non polar?
The shape is trigonal pyramidal Polarity is non-polar
What type of covalent bond is formed in nitrogen molecule?
Nitrogen will form a non polar bond to another nitrogen, a polar bond to other atoms with different electronegativity. In NH3 N is the most electronegative, in NF3 it is F that is the most electronegative.

Why is the boiling point of AsH3 lower thanNH3?
NH3 is more polar than AsH3, this is the same as comparing H2O and H2S.
Why Nh3 and Nf3 has high dipole moment?
This is because in ammonia the direction of resultant dipole is towards lone pair and hence it has high dipole moment but in case of NF3 the direction of resultant dipole moment is opposite to the lone pair and hence the dipole moment gets less.
How is polar?
NH3 has a lone pair.So it is polar.
What is more polar NH3 or CCl4 and why?
CCl4 is more polar. Electronegativity difference between C and H = 0.5 whereas C and Cl = 0.6 Therefore, CCl4 has a slightly stronger pull towards Cl.
Which compound has a higher boiling point NF3 or NH3?
Ammonia: -33,34 0C Nitrogen trifluoride: -129 0C
