Detailed Solution

In Sulphur, there are one pure p orbital and two pure d orbitals. Two  bonds and one pp bond each contain these three orbitals. Its polarity is non-polar.
The trigonal bipyramidal molecular structure of SOF4 has an asymmetric charge distribution all around the core atom.SOF4 is hence polar.
The lone pair electrons at the "top" of the structure, which cause electron-electron repulsion and a region of partial negative charge, make SO2-3 a polar molecule.
Because of its asymmetrical form and the existence of two lone pair electrons, which causes an uneven distribution of charge, ClF3 is a polar molecule.
