Solution

The correct option is A 4
(i) SO3- Trigonal planar and non-polar.
(ii) PCl3F2- Trigonal bipyramidal and non-polar.
(iii) P4- Trigonal pyramidal and non-polar.
(iv) NH3- Trigonal pyramidal and polar.
(v) CO2- Linear and non-polar.
(vi) CF4- Tetrahedral and non-polar.
(vii) BF3- Trigonal planar and non-polar.
(viiii) SiCl4- Tetrahedral and non-polar.
(ix) HClO4- Tetrahedral and polar.
(x) SF4- See-saw and polar.
Thus, the non-polar and non-planar species are PCl3F2, P4, CF4, SiCl4. Hence, 4 compounds are non-polar and non-planar.
