Is IF3 a polar or a non-polar molecule?
IF3 is a polar molecule due to electronegativity difference Between I & F atom.The electronegativity values of I & F are 2.5 & 4.0 and the electronegativity difference betn I & F is (4.0–2.5) or 1.5. If the electronegativity difference is 0.5- 1.7 then the molecule becomes polar.

To answer this question, you have to look at the Lewis structure of iodine trifluoride, or [math] ext{IF}_3[/math]:
