Question

The $C{H}_{3}F$ molecule has which molecular geometry, as dictated by the hybridization, and polarity?

• A. $s{p}^3$, non-polar
• B. $s{p}^3$, polar
• C. $s{p}^2$, polar
• D. $s{p}^2$, non-polar

Answer 1

The correct option is B $s{p}^3$, polar

${CH}_{3}F$ SN. of $C=4+0=4$ $\to {sp}^3$

${CH}_{3}F$ is polar due to the presence of non zero dipole moment due to the presence of high electronegative $F$.
