The number of non-polar molecules from the following is
HF,H2O,SO2,H2,CO2,CH4,NH3,HCl,CHCl3,BF3HF, {H}_{2}O, {SO}_{2}, {H}_{2}, {CO}_{2}, {CH}_{4}, {NH}_{3}, HCl, {CHCl}_{3}, {BF}_{3}

Correct answer

4

Step-by-step solution

The molecules which have perfect geometry and no lone pairs are zero dipole moment molecules. Those molecules termed as non-polar molecules. Amongst the given compounds, CH4,CO2,H2,BF3{CH}_{4}, {CO}_{2}, {H}_{2}, {BF}_{3} are non polar molecules.

H2O{H}_{2}O has two lone pairs and two bond pairs. SO2{SO}_{2} has two sigma bond pairs and one lone pair. CHCl3{CHCl}_{3} has net dipole moment because the bond moments do not cancel with each other. NH3{NH}_{3} have one lone pair and three bond pairs. In HFHF bond moment is the dipole moment. Hence, all these molecules have some net dipole moment.

The non-polar molecules are CO2,H2,CH4{CO}_{2}, {H}_{2}, {CH}_{4} and BF3{BF}_{3}
