This is because in ammonia the direction of resultant dipole is towards lone pair and hence it has high dipole moment but in case of NF3 the direction of resultant dipole moment is opposite to the lone pair and hence the dipole moment gets less.

∙ 11y agoNH3 has a dipole moment of 1.46 D and NF3 0.235 D. In NH3, H is less electronegative than nitrogen and hence dipole moment of each N-H bond is towards N. Now when we take the vector sum of the three N-H bonds tetrahedrally structured molecule the dipole moment of the resultant is in the same direction as the dipole created by the nitrogen lone pair. But for NF3 as F is moreelectronegative than N the resultant is opposite to that of lone pair dipole, hence reducing the net dipole.

∙ 11y agoFluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen and therefore the N-F bonds are polar. the lone pair dipole runs in the opposite direction and counteracts the bond dipoles. . Therefore the net dipole moment but it is relatively low at 0.235 D

∙ 11y agoThe dipole of ammonia is due to N being more electronegative than H and reinforce the effect of the lone pair dipole. In NF3 as F is more electronegative than N the bond dipoles oppose the lone pair dipole.
A fuller description would need to factor in the effect of the reduced bond angle in NF3 and the closer approach of the lone pair in NF3

Which of these molecules has an overall dipole mome?
An overall dipole moment is H2S.
What substances would exhibit dipole-dipole intermolecular force bcl2 cf4 co2 cl2 nh3?
co2
Which compound has a higher boiling point NF3 or NH3?
Ammonia: -33,34 0C Nitrogen trifluoride: -129 0C
Which one out of N2 and NH3 have greater value of a and which one will have greater value of b?
In vanderwaal's Equation 'a' measures the intermolecular force of attraction and 'b' measures the volume of the molecule. N2 has greater volume (due to it's larger size) and hence 'b' is greater for N2. NH3 has greater dipole moment and hence 'a' is greater for NH3.
WHYNh3 is stong bond?
NH3 is a strong bond because it is capable of hydrogen bonding. when it comes to intermolecular forces (dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, and ion-dipole) hydrogen bonding is one of the strongest. Molecules containing Hydrogen atoms bonded with Flourine(ex-FH), Oxygen(ex-H2O), or Nitrogen(ex-NH3) are capable of hydrogen bonding because they are extremely polar. Even though the Nitrogen and Hydrogen atoms "share" atoms through covalent bonds, the electrons tend to hover closer to Nitrogen. This results in the Hydrogen atoms becoming partially positive in charge while the Nitrogen atom gains a partially negative charge. When a molecule of NH3 comes in contact with another molecule of NH3, the positive (Hydrogen) end of one molecule attracts the negative (Nitrogen) end of the other. This ability of the partially positive Hydrogen atoms to form strong bonds with other polar molecules (IE. Hydrogen Bonding) is why NH3 forms strong bonds.
Is NH3 has zero dipole moment?
NH3 is polar compound.So dipole moment is not zero.
Does ammonia have a dipole moment?
NH3 is an asymmetrical compound.So it is exhibits.
Does CH3NH2 have a dipole moment?
NH3 is not symmetrical.So it has a dipole moment
Is there a dipole moment in NH3?
It has a dipole moment.Thats because it has a lone pair
Does NI3 have a dipole moment?
NI3 does not exist. If NH3 is meant then the answer is: yes it has a dipole moment (like OH2, or better H2O)
What is the predominant intermolecular force of methane ammonia nitrogen triflouride?
Correct answers from Mastering Chemistry: NH3 - hydrogen bonding CH4 - Dispersion forces NF3 - dipole-dipole
Why NH3 is more polar than NF3?
NH3 is more polar than NF3 because a) there is a greater difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen than there is between nitrogen and fluorine. b) the lone pair contribution in ammonia reinforces the dipole wheras in NF3 the bond dipoles oppose th effect of the lone pair
Is nf3 a covalent or ionic?
Covalent. NF3 is the fluoride equivalent of ammonia (NH3).
Which of these molecules has an overall dipole mome?
An overall dipole moment is H2S.
What pair of molecules has the strongest dipole - dipole interactions co2-co2 or co2-ch4 or nh3-nh3 or nh3-ch4 or ch4-ch4.?
nh3-nh3 because they are both polar molecules
Application of dipole moment?
A dipole moment is defined as the mathematical product of the separation of the ends of a dipole and the magnitude of the charges. Dipole moments are created by the separation of charge over a molecule. Some common molecules with dipoles are H2O, HF, NH3, etc...
What type of covalent bond is NH3?
Dipole dipole forces
