Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction : 

We have to tell the polarity of the molecules whether the given structures are polar or non polar .

Polarity can be checked by dipole moment calculation .

 

Step 2

Explanation : 

If a molecules possess dipole moment then it will be polar other wise molecule will be non polar .

 

A- Molecule is polar because both the atoms are different and Cl is more electronegative than H so there will be polarity generation in HCl molecule. So, A is polar.
B-BFis non polar because it is planer molecule and there is no charge separation between atom .So ,BF3 is non poCHlar .

C-CCl4 is non polar because it is tetrahedral and have zero dipole moment due to 4 Cl groups .So,it is non polar molecule.
