NO2F - Nitryl Fluoride:
First draw the Lewis dot structure:
Electron geometry: trigonal planar. Hybridization: sp2
Then draw the 3D molecular structure using VSEPR rules:
Decision:
The molecular geometry of NO2F is trigonal planar with asymmetric charge distribution on the central atom.
Therefore NO2F is polar.
