Question

According to VSEPR theory, the molecule that has T-shape is (A)  ClF3 (B)  NH3 (C)  BF3 (D) H2O

ClF3 ⇒ 3 bp +2lp, ie, sp3 d hybridisation The shape of ClF 3 should be trigonal bipyramidal but presence of two Ione pairs converts it into T-shape. (The shape of NH 3 is pyramidal, H 2 O is angular and that of BF 3 is trigonal planar.)

Q. According to $V SEPR$ theory, the molecule that has $T$ -shape is

$Cl F_{3}$

$N H_{3}$

$B F_{3}$

$H_{2} O$

$Cl F_{3} \Rightarrow 3 b p + 2 lp, i e, s p^{3} d$
