Chemical Bonding - Result Question 54
####29. Which one of the following molecules is planar?
(1996, 1M)
(a) $NF _3$
(b) $NCl _3$
(c) $PH _3$
(d) $BF _3$
Show Answer
Solution:
- $BF _3$ has triangular planar arrangement.
There identical vectors acting in outward direction, at equal angles in a plane, cancel each other giving zero resultant, hence non-polar.
