The bond angle in NF3 (102.3°) is smaller than NH4 (107.2°). This is because of

  • large size of F compared to H

  • large size of N compared to F

  • opposite polarity of N in the two molecules

  • small size of H compared to N

The structure of XeF6, is experimentally determined to be distorted octahedron. Its structure according to VSEPR theory is

  • octahedron

  • trigonal bipyramid

  • pentagonal bipyramid

  • tetragonal bipyramid


C.

pentagonal bipyramid

In XeF6 , Xe, the central atomc ontains, 8 valence electrons. Out of which 6 are utilised with fluorine in bonding (i.e., it contains six bond pairs of electrons) while one pair remains as lone pair.
Thus, the total pairs = 6 + 1 = 7
Hence, its shape is pentagonal bipyramid according to VSEPR theory.
