Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Since fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen, the net dipole moment of 
is greater than 
.
Statement II: In 
, the orbital dipole due to lone pair and the dipole moment of NH bonds are in opposite direction, but in 
the orbital dipole due to lone pair and dipole moments of 
bonds are in same direction.
choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

Resultant dipole moment in 
Resultant dipole moment in 
In 
, the orbital dipole due to lone pair is in the same direction as the resultant dipole moment of the 
bonds, whereas in 
, the orbital dipole is in the direction opposite to the resultant dipole moment of the three N-F bonds.
