NH3>NF3> NCl3- This order is correct as the dipole moment increases with the increase in electronegativity difference between the central atom and the surrounding atoms. In NH3, the N-H bond is more polar than N-F bond in NF3, and N-Cl bond in NCl3 due to the higher electronegativity of Cl and F than H.
