Using VSEPR theory which of the following would be the correct shape for nitrogen trifluoride?

Chemistry

RUDIKE [14]3 years ago

Answer:

trigonal pyramidal

Explanation:

In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.

Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.

However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a  trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.

The Valence Electrons of an Atom of Which Element would feel a Greater Effective Nuclear Charge than the Valence?
kumpel [21]
The effective nuclear charge is an innate property of a specific element. It is the pull of force that an electron feels from the nucleus. It is related to the valence electron by the equation: Z* = Z-S, where Z* is the effective nuclear charge, Z is the atomic number and S is the shielding constant.

For the following elements in the choices, these are their values of Z*:

Aluminum - +12.591
Beryllium - +1.912
Hydrogen - +1
Carbon - +4

The effective nuclear charge of Boron is +3. Thus, the answers are  Aluminum and Carbon.
