JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Bromine trifluoride autoionizes to form \(\text{BrF}_2^{\oplus}\) and \(\text{BrF}_4^{\ominus}\). The shapes of the cation and anion are respectively ________, and ________.
- A bent, square planar
- B linear, square planar
- C bent, see-saw
- D linear, tetrahedral
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) bent, square planar
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The autoionization of bromine trifluoride is given by the reaction: \(2\text{BrF}_3 \rightleftharpoons \text{BrF}_2^{\oplus} + \text{BrF}_4^{\ominus}\) For the cation \(\text{BrF}_2^{\oplus}\): The central atom Br has \(7\) valence electrons. Due to the positive charge, it has…
