ClF_(3) exists but FCl_(3) does not. Why ?

Knowledge Check

The Shape of ClF_3 is

A

T-Shape

B

Square pyramid

C

Bent

D

None of these

BF_(3) and NF_(3) both are covalent compounds but NF_(3) is polar whereas BF_(3) is non-polar. This is because :

A

Nitrogen atom is smaller than boron atom

B

N-F bond is more polar than B-F bond

C

`NF_(3)` is pyramidal whereas `BF_(3)` is planar triangular

D

`BF_(3)` is electron deficient whereas `NF_(3)` is not

The molecules BF_(3)&NF_(3) both are covalent. But BF_(3) is non-polar & NF_(3) is polar. The reason is that:-

A

Boron is a metal and nitrogen is a gas

B

`BF_(3)` is planar & `NF_(3)` is pyramidal

C

`DeltaEN` for N-F bond is zero but for B-F bond is non zero

D

All of the above
