BF3 is a planar molecule with bond angle 120 0 . The bonds are polar but the bond dipoles cancel one another out - think of it as symmetry or vector addition or that they pull equally in opposite directions.

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.

SO2 is bent shaped and has a net dipole moment.


Why dipol moment of methane is zero?

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

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. :)

bf3 all the way Jokes Mw3 is way better


What molecule has zero dipole moment?

Carbon dioxide has a zero dipole moment. The C=O bonds are polar, but because the molecule is linear, the polarities cancel one another and the molecule has a zero dipole moment. Click on the related link for an illustration of the carbon dioxide molecule showing its dipole moment.
