Identify incorrectly matched set from the following

  1. A Molecules with incomplete octet- \(\mathrm{BeH}_2, \mathrm{BCl}_3\)
  2. B Polar molecules- \(\mathrm{BF}_3, \mathrm{CCl}_4\)
  3. C Molecules with expanded octet- \(\mathrm{PCl}_5, \mathrm{SF}_6\)
  4. D Odd electron molecules-NO, \(\mathrm{NO}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Polar molecules- \(\mathrm{BF}_3, \mathrm{CCl}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{BF}_3\) and \(\mathrm{CCl}_4\) are non-polar molecules due to symmetrical arrangement of the bond pairs that result in the cancellation of the individual bond dipoles.
