AS WE KNOW THAT IN BF3 MOLECULE IS NON POLAR DUE TO ITS GEOMETRY , BUT WE ALSO KNOW HCL AS POLAR ALSO HCL GEOMETRY IS LINEAR WONT THEY CANCEL THEIR POLARITY AS BF3 DOES THROUGH ITS GEOMETRY ? THEN WHY DO WE SAY THAT HCL IS A POLAR MOLECULE

Dear friend
In BF3, vectors sum of two florine dipole moments are mutually cancelled by the third one.
On the other hand dipole moment of HCl can never be zero.
