Given information
Here the given information is:
The molecule is polar.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Fluoromethane has a tetrahedral geometry and can be shown as:
Fluorine is more electronegative than carbon. Therefore, the bond between fluorine and carbon in is polar in nature.
Carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen. Therefore, the bond between carbon and hydrogen is polar.
The net dipole moment of is in the same direction. Therefore, the molecule is polar.
