The molecular geometry of \(\mathrm{PF}_3\) is ...... .
- A tetrahedral
- B pyramidal
- C trigonal planar
- D square planar
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) pyramidal
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{PF}_3\) has four regions of electron density / electron clouds around the central \(\mathrm{P}\) atom. The regions of electrons make a tetrahedral arrangement with a bond angle of 109.5 . Only three regions of electrons are bonding and one is non-bonding, so the…
