Question

Ammonia, N  , is more polar than is borane, B  because it ________.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ammonia has a lone pair of electrons on its nitrogen atom, making it more polar than borane which does not have a lone pair. Additionally, ammonia is less symmetrical than borane due to the lone pair, and its hydrogens are not exactly opposite one another, further increasing its polarity. Therefore, all of the choices (A, B, and C) are correct.
