Question
**Question:** Which molecule(s) is(are) nonpolar?

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows Lewis structures of five different molecules:

- **Molecule I:** Boron trifluoride (BF₃)
  - Central atom: Boron (B)
  - Surrounding atoms: Three Fluorine (F) atoms, each forming single bonds with Boron. Each Fluorine has three lone pairs.

- **Molecule II:** Bromine trifluoride (BrF₃)
  - Central atom: Bromine (Br)
  - Surrounding atoms: Three Fluorine (F) atoms, each forming single bonds with Bromine. Each Fluorine has three lone pairs. Bromine has two lone pairs.

- **Molecule III:** Nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃)
  - Central atom: Nitrogen (N)
  - Surrounding atoms: Three Fluorine (F) atoms, each forming single bonds with Nitrogen. Each Fluorine has three lone pairs. Nitrogen has one lone pair.

- **Molecule IV:** Carbon tetrafluoride (CF₄)
  - Central atom: Carbon (C)
  - Surrounding atoms: Four Fluorine (F) atoms, each forming single bonds with Carbon. Each Fluorine has three lone pairs.

- **Molecule V:** Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆)
  - Central atom: Sulfur (S)
  - Surrounding atoms: Six Fluorine (F) atoms, each forming single bonds with Sulfur. Each Fluorine has three lone pairs.

**Answer Options:**

- ❍ I, III, and V
- ❍ I, II, III, IV and V
- ❍ IV
- ❍ I and IV
- ❍ II, III, and V
