Question Image


A lone pair is assumed to be an electro negative atom
In NH3 all dipoles allign with each other
 

 

μ is high.
 

Question Image


In  NF3 the vectorial sum of bond dipoles is some what compensated by the dipole by lone pair.
μ is less.
Conclusion
Though electronegativity of F > H (on pauling scale) the dipolement of NH3>NF3
I and II are true
