Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

image
A molecule is non-polar if its net dipole moment () is zero. This happens in symmetric structures where individual bond dipoles cancel out. has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry (). In this symmetric arrangement:Three equatorial bond dipoles cancel each other at .Two axial bond dipoles cancel each other at .Thus, net . Others are unsymmetrical ( is bent, others have different atoms attached).
