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.
BF3 has a nonpolar covalent bond because the electronegativity difference between boron and fluorine is not significant enough to create a polar covalent bond. In a nonpolar covalent bond, electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved.
BF3 is a nonpolar molecule because the boron atom is surrounded by three fluorine atoms arranged in a trigonal planar geometry, creating a symmetric distribution of charge that cancels out any dipole moment.
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
Ammonia (NH3) is polar because it has a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, causing an uneven distribution of charge and resulting in a net dipole moment. In contrast, BF3 is not polar because the boron atom in BF3 is surrounded by three fluorine atoms that all pull electron density away from the boron atom equally, resulting in a symmetrical shape and no net dipole moment.
No. The individual bonds are polar, but BF3 is trigonal planar so the overall molecule is not polar.

Electro negativity difference is zero.So dipole moment is zero.
NH3 is polar compound.So dipole moment is not zero.
No. The individual bonds are polar, but BF3 is trigonal planar so the overall molecule is not polar.
Yes, boron trifluoride (BF3) does have a dipole moment due to the difference in electronegativity between boron and fluorine atoms. The molecule is trigonal planar in shape, with an incomplete octet on boron, leading to a net dipole moment.
No, an object can have a zero moment of inertia and still be rotating if the net external torque acting on it is zero. Rotation can occur even with a zero moment of inertia as long as there are no external torques causing it to change its rotational motion.
