To explain why the dipole moment (μ) of NH₃ (ammonia) is greater than that of NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Dipole Moment The dipole moment (μ) is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges in a molecule. It is defined as: \[ \mu = q \times d \] where \( q \) is the magnitude of the charge and \( d \) is the distance between the charges. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Molecular Geometry ...
