Q. What is the measure of the dipole moment in a BF3 molecule?
Answer: 0
Notes: The BF3 molecule exhibits a dipole moment of 0 because its structure comprises of two equal bond dipoles that are oriented in opposite directions, thereby cancelling out each other's effects. Each BF bond consists of one Boron - Fluorine atomic pair. Though each Boron - Fluorine bond is polar, the trigonal planar geometry of BF3 results in a perfectly symmetrical distribution of charge, ensuring that the resultant dipole moment is zero.
