(D) The bond angles for the given molecules are as follows:$BF_3$: $120^{\circ}$ (trigonal planar geometry)$NH_3$: $107^{\circ}$ (pyramidal geometry)$

Vedclass · Accepted Answer

$BF_3 > NH_3 > NF_3 > PCl_3$

Vedclass · Answer

(D) The bond angles for the given molecules are as follows:$BF_3$: $120^{\circ}$ (trigonal planar geometry)$NH_3$: $107^{\circ}$ (pyramidal geometry)$NF_3$: $102^{\circ}$ (pyramidal geometry,lower than $NH_3$ due to higher electronegativity of $F$)$PCl_3$: $100^{\circ}$ (pyramidal geometry,lower than $NH_3$ due to larger size of $P$ atom)Thus,the correct order of bond angles is $BF_3 > NH_3 > NF_3 > PCl_3$.Therefore,the correct option is $(D)$.

Which among the following represents the correct order of variation of bond angles in the given molecules?
