Detailed Solution

Symmetrical molecules like BF3, SF6 BeCl2, CO2 has zero dipole moment even though they contain polar bonds. Unsymmetrical molecules like POCl3 (tetrahedral), CH3CI (tetrahedral), CHCl3 (tetrahedral), XeF6 (distorted octahedral), NH3 (pyramidal), SO2 (bent), H2Se (V-shaped), NO2 (V-shaped), O3 (V-shaped), BrF5 (square pyramidal) always have net value of dipole moment.
