The decreasing order of dipole moment of molecules is

(a)$\mathrm{NF_3>NH_3>H_2O}$

(b)$\mathrm{NH_3>NF_3>H_3O}$

(c)$\mathrm{H_2O>NH_3>NF_3}$

(d)$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}>\mathrm{NF}_{3}>\mathrm{NH}_{3}$

Answer

Answer (as printed): D

Explanation

Therefore, order of dipole moment is $\mathrm{H_2O > NF_3 > NH_3}$
