Dipole moment vectors are in compensatory mode.

Question Image

 

 

 

 

Dipole moment vectors are additive in nature.

Each N-H bond in NH3 has a dipole moment that is directed toward nitrogen because H is less electronegative than nitrogen. The dipole moment of the resulting molecule, which has a tetrahedrally structured molecule with three N-H bonds, points in the same direction as the dipole produced by the nitrogen lone pair. However, because F is more electronegative than N in NF3, the outcome is different from that of a lone pair dipole. decreasing the net dipole as a result.
