Dipole moment of PCl3F2 and P(CH3)3(CF)2 molecules are zero while dipole moment of PCl2F3 and P(CH3)2(CF3)3 are non zero why?

According to bent rule more electronegative atom or group attached those hybrids orbital have minimum S- character.


There is in trigonal bipiramidal (TBP) Geometry we known that axial orbital hare no s-character so F and -CFgroup are attached with equatorial positions.  Hence dipole moment of P(CH3)2(CF3)2  is zero. While in case of PCl2F3 and P(CH3)2(CF)3 molecules one of the F and –CF3 group are also present at equatorial position hence there is net dipole moment.
