Which of the following molecules has trigonal planar geometry?
- A$\mathrm{IF}_3$
- B$\mathrm{PCl}_3$
- C$\mathrm{NH}_3$
- Correct answerD$\mathrm{BF}_3$
Solution
$\mathrm{IF}_3$ has bent-T geometery
$\mathrm{PCl}_3$ has pyramidal geometery.
$\mathrm{NH}_3$ has pyramidal geometry.
$\mathrm{BF}_3$ has trigonal planar geometry.
$\mathrm{PCl}_3$ has pyramidal geometery.
$\mathrm{NH}_3$ has pyramidal geometry.
$\mathrm{BF}_3$ has trigonal planar geometry.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
