H2O > NH3 > NF3 > CH4=0
H2O has max lone pairs so dipole moment max

CH4 is symmetrical so zero
In NH3 the N-H and lone pair are in same direction
while in NF3 the N-F are in one direction while lone pair is in other direction
So, NH3>NF3

for NH3 and NF3 u cna also compare htis way...
F is nearer to N in periodic table...so they will have approx same EN..so dipole moment wont be that high
whereas H is located far from N..so their EN's will differ by some considerable amt...so dipole moment is also appreciable..
so NH3>NF3
