The molecules BF3 and NF3 are covalent compounds. But BF3 is nonpolar and NF3 is polar. The reason is
1) Boron is a metal and nitrogen is a gas in uncombined state
2) BF bonds have no dipole moment where as NF bonds have dipole

3) Atomic size of boron is smaller than that of nitrogen

4) BF3 is planar but NF3 is pyramidal in shape

BeF2 has zero dipole moment where as H2O has a dipole moment
