Question
molecular polarity of bf3
Answers

GPT 3.5
The molecule BF3, or boron trifluoride, is a trigonal planar molecule and has a triangular shape.
Each fluorine atom is more electronegative than the boron atom, causing the bond between the boron and fluorine atoms to be polar. However, due to the molecule's symmetrical shape, the polarities of the individual bonds cancel out each other, resulting in a nonpolar overall molecular polarity of BF3.
