Statement I: Since fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen, the net dipole moment of NF₃ is greater than NH₃.
Statement II: In NH₃, the orbital dipole due to the lone pair and the dipole moment of NH bonds are in opposite directions, but in NF₃, the orbital dipole due to the lone pair and the dipole moments of N-F bonds are in the same direction.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
