In which molecule are all atoms coplanar?
CH4
BF3
PF3
NH3
B.
BF3
Valence shell electronic configuration of B in excited state is 2s1, 2px1, 2py1, 2pz0. On hybridisation, these atomic orbitals form three trigonal planar sp2 hybrid orbitals which being singly occupied, overlap with three singly filled 2pz atomic orbitals of three F-atom to form three B-F σ bonds which are coplanar and inclined to each other at 120°.
Inoic bonds are usually formed by combination of elements with
high ionisation potential and low electron affinity
low ionisation potential and high electron affinity
high ionisation potential and high electron affinity
low ionisation potential and low electron affinity
If a molecule MX3 has zero dipole moment, the sigma bonding orbital used by M (At. no. 13) are
pure p
sp- hybridised
sp2- hybridised
sp3- hybridised
