The electronegativity difference between N and F is greater than that between N and H, yet the dipole moment of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] (1.5 D) is larger than that of \[N{{F}_{3}}\] (0.2 D). This is because

A)  In \[N{{H}_{3}}\] the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction, whereas in \[N{{F}_{3}}\] these are in opposite directions

B)  In \[N{{H}_{3}}\] as well as \[N{{F}_{3}}\] the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in opposite directions

C)  In \[N{{H}_{3}}\] the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the opposite directions, whereas in\[N{{F}_{3}}\]? 3 these are in the same direction

D)  In \[N{{H}_{3}}\] as well as in\[N{{F}_{3}}\] the atomic dipole and bond dipole are in the same direction
