The correct increasing bond angle among `BF_(3),PF_(3)` and `ClF_(3)` follow the order

Options

A. `BF_(3) lt PF_(3), CIF_(3)`
B. `PF_(3) lt BF_(3), CIF_(3)`
C. `CIF_(3) lt PF_(3), BF_(3)`
D. All have equal bonfd angle

Answer

C

Explanation

In `BF_(1)B` is `sp^(2)` hybridised with bond angle `120^(@) C ` in `PF_(2)` P is sp hybridised but bond angle is less than `109^(@)28` due to lone pair bond pair repulsion in `CIF_(2) CI ` is `sp^(3)d hybridised having T-shope with bond angle `90^(@)C`
