BF3 is a non-polar molecule, primarily because the 3 fluorine atoms force the central boron atom to be "hypovalent," and therefore an octet rule violator. That said, it is possible for even a non-polar molecule to have very weak, temporary dipoles caused by the random motion of electrons around the periphery of the molecule. This very weak intermolecular force is called London dispersion force (after chemist Fritz London,) which gives many non-polar gases their low melting and boiling points.

∙ 13y agoBF3 is a Trigonal planar molecule due to presence of three electrons pairs around the Boron atom, due to symmetry in molecule the Dipole moment becomes zero, but PF3 is a Pyramidal molecule because along with three bonded electron pairs Phosphorus also have a lone pair of electrons, due to asymmetry in the molecule this molecule has a net Dipole moment.

∙ 13y agoIt is a Trigonal planar molecule three 'F' atoms are arranged around the "B" atom at the angles of 120, due to symmetry in molecule the Dipole moment becomes zero.

Which molecule has a dipole moment H2 CO2 F2 SO2 BF3?
SO2 is bent shaped and has a net dipole moment.
Is BF3 non polar covalent polar covalent or ionic bond?
BF3 has polar covalent bonds. It is planar and symmetric so the net dipole moment of the molecule is zero.
Is boron triflouride a dipole moment?
No. the bonds are polar covalent and there are bond dipoles but these cancel each other out (vector addition0 due to the symmetry of the molecule. BF3 is planar with a bond angle of 1200.
Is bf3 a nonpolar or polar molecule?
BF3 is Non-Polar :)
Is HBr a dipole dipole?
HBr has a dipole

Is bf3 a nonpolar or polar molecule?
BF3 is Non-Polar :)
Types of molecular attraction?
Ion-dipole, Dipole-dipole, and Dipole-induced dipole.
What is better BF3 or MW3 and why?
BF3 because i have both and BF3 is very realiastic, has many interactive objects like vehicles, the online is very nice. MW3 is almost cartoony compared to BF3 and MW3 is just like the other COD's and gets boring. its predictable. I like BF3 way more. :)
What will be better mw3 or bf3?
bf3 all the way Jokes Mw3 is way better
Is HBr a dipole dipole?
HBr has a dipole
Is CH2O a dipole dipole?
yes it is dipole dipole as it contain one electron attracting atom chlorin which create dipole in molecule.
What are the types of dipole?
There are three types of dipole. 1)Permanent dipole. 2)Instantenous dipole. 3)Induced dipole.
What kind of forces is a dipole-dipole force?
Dipole-dipole interactions are of electrostatic nature.
What is the relative strength of dipole-dipole forces?
Dipole-dipole = ~ tens of kcal/mol (:
