$ClF_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) $BF_3$ has a trigonal planar structure with $sp^2$ hybridization,where all $B-F$ bonds are equivalent.$AlF_3$ is an ionic compound with a crystal lattice structure where all $Al-F$ bonds are equivalent.$NF_3$ has a trigonal pyramidal geometry with $sp^3$ hybridization,where all $N-F$ bonds are equivalent.$ClF_3$ has a $T$-shaped geometry due to $sp^3d$ hybridization with two lone pairs in the equatorial positions. This results in two different bond lengths (axial and equatorial),meaning all bonds are not equal.Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

In which of the following molecules are all the bonds not equal?
