Consider the molecules/ions: BCl3,SF4,NF3,PF3,N(SiH3)3,ClO+3,XeO4,XeOF2,SOCl2. The number of molecules/ions among the above which contain pπ−dπ bonds is:
Open in App
Solution
SF4 has see-saw shape but has no pπ−dπ bonds.
In NF3 both atoms do not have d orbital, hence no pπ−dπ bonds.
Six molecules/ions namely, PF3,N(SiH3)3,ClO+3,XeO4,XeOF2 and SOCl2 contain pπ−dπ bonds.
