Question

Molecular shape of $Xe{F}_3^{+}$, $S{F}_3^{+}$ and $C{F}_3^{+}$ are :

• A. the same with $2,1$ and $0$ lone pair of electrons on central atom respectively
• B. different with $2,1$ and $0$ lone pair of electrons on central atom respectively
• C. different with $0,1$ and $2$ lone pairs of electrons on central atom respectively
• D. the same with $2,0$ and $1$ lone pair of electrons on central atom respectively

Answer 1

The correct option is B different with $2,1$ and $0$ lone pair of electrons on central atom respectively

From the diagram, we can say that all molecules have a different shape and have $2,1,0$ lone pair of electrons.
