Which has greater bond angle `PF_(3) or NF_(3)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which molecule has a greater bond angle between PF3 and NF3, we need to analyze the molecular geometry and the factors affecting bond angles in both compounds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Central Atom and Valence Electrons:** - For NF3 (Nitrogen Trifluoride), nitrogen (N) has 5 valence electrons, and each fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. - For PF3 (Phosphorus Trifluoride), phosphorus (P) also has 5 valence electrons, and each fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. ...
