The correct increasing order for bond angles among \(\mathrm{BF}_3, \mathrm{PF}_3\) and \(\mathrm{ClF}_3\) is :

• A

  \(\mathrm{BF}_3 < \mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{ClF}_3\)
• Correct answer
  B

  \(\mathrm{ClF}_3 < \mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{BF}_3\)
• C

  \(\mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{BF}_3 < \mathrm{ClF}_3\)
• D

  \(\mathrm{BF}_3=\mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{ClF}_3\)

Solution

Order of bond angle is $\mathrm{ClF}_3 < \mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{BF}_3$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
