Given below are two statements.
Statement I If a molecule has polar bond, then it is always polar.
Statement II 
has distorted octahedral structure.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below .
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsC
Even though the molecule contains polar bond but it will be non-polar if net dipole moment is zero. 
undergoes 
-hybridisation with one lone pair. Thus, due to lone pair on 
, it creates lone pair-bond pair repulsion, which distorts the shape.
Hence, statement I is false but statement II is true.
