A tetrahedral molecule can have a dipole moment if the individual bond dipoles do not cancel each other out. This can happen if the molecule is not symmetric or if there is an electronegativity difference between the atoms in the molecule, leading to unequal sharing of electrons. As a result, a net dipole moment is generated, making the molecule overall polar.
No. the molecule is symmetric (tetrahedral) and while the Si-Cl bonds are polar the bond dipole moments cancel one another out.
CF4 does not have a dipole moment because the dipole moments of the C-F bonds cancel out due to the symmetric tetrahedral structure of the molecule. This results in a molecule that is nonpolar overall.
NO. SiF4 is a tetrahedral molecule. It has one F on top and the other three as a base for a tetrahedral structure. F ! dipole is upwards for this F. Si resultant dipole is downwards for the 3 F's / ! ) F F F so they cancel each other. Therefore the dipole moment is 0.
I would say no- if you mean inorganic phosphates - ionic containing the phosphate ion PO43-
Two reasons the bonds are not very polar AND even if they were the bond dipoles would cancel one another out as they point in different directions CH4 is tetrahedral. CCl4, also tetrahedral, definitely has polar bonds but because they cancel one another out it has no dipole

It is a symmetrical tetrahedral molecule so has zero dipole moment.
Symmetric molecules have no dipole moment. An example is carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 , which has no dipole moment yet the C-Cl bonds are polar, (chlorine is more electronegative than carbon). The chlorine atoms each have a small negative charge but because the molecule is tetrahedral there is no dipole and therefore no dipole moment
Yes, CH2Br2 has polar bonds. The molecule has a tetrahedral geometry with a dipole moment, as the difference in electronegativity between carbon and bromine atoms causes an uneven distribution of electrons, resulting in a net dipole moment.

Nope, CCl4 doesn't have a dipole moment because the dipole moments of the four C-Cl bonds cancel each other out due to their symmetrical tetrahedral arrangement. So, in simple terms, it's like having four friends who are equally annoying, so their annoyances just balance each other out.
NH3 is an asymmetrical compound.So it is exhibits.
The dipole moment of CH2Cl2 is 1.60 Debye.
The dipole moment of dichloromethane is 1.60 Debye.
