NEET 2024 Chemistry Resonance and Dipole Moment MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Identify the correct answer.

A

Dipole moment of NF₃ is greater than that of NH₃.

B

Three canonical forms can be drawn for CO₃²⁻ ion.

C

Three resonance structures can be drawn for ozone.

D

BF₃ has non-zero dipole moment.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Ozone (O₃) has three resonance structures due to the delocalization of electrons. NF₃ has a lower dipole moment than NH₃ due to the opposing direction of the lone pair dipole. BF₃ is nonpolar as it is symmetrical.
