    Which of the following is a polar molecule?

    A)  \[B{{F}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[S{{F}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[Si{{F}_{4}}\]

    D)  \[Xe{{F}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Symmetrical molecules are generally non-polar although they have polar bonds. This is because bond dipole of one bond is cancelled by that of the other. \[B{{F}_{3}},Si{{F}_{4}}\]and \[Xe{{F}_{4}}\]being symmetrical as non-polar. \[S{{F}_{4}}\]is unsymmetrical because of the presence of a lone pair of electrons. Due to which it is a polar molecule.
