JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

The incorrect geometry is represented by

  1. A \(NF_3-\)  trigonal planar
  2. B \(BF_3-\) trigonal planar
  3. C \(AsF_5-\)  trigonal bipyramidal
  4. D \(H_2O-\)  bent
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(NF_3-\)  trigonal planar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(NF_3\) has trigonal pyramidal geometry. \(N\) atom has one lone pair and three bond pairs of electrons. The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal . The bond angles are lower than tetrahedral bond angles due to lone pair - lone pair…
