Answer : The shape of the fluoroform molecule is Tetrahedral.
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the Hybridization of the molecule by formula,
where,
V = Number of valence shell electron in central atom
H = Number of neighboring monovalent atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
The central atom in this molecule is Carbon, it has 4 electrons in their valence shell.
The neighboring monovalent atoms are one Hydrogen atom and three Fluorine atom.
There is no charge of cation and anion on the given molecule.
V = 4
H = 1 Hydrogen atom + 3 fluorine atom = 4
C = 0
A = 0
By the above hybridization formula, we get
= 4
The number of electron pair = 4
The number of lone pair = 0
The number of electrons is 4, this means that the hybridization is and the geometry of the molecule is Tetrahedral.
The geometry of the molecule is shown below.
