The incorrect geometry is represented by :

A

`NF_(3)` trigonal planar

B

`BF_(3)`- trigonal planar

C

`AsF_(5)`- trigonal bipyramidal

D

`H_(2)O-` bent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`NF_(3)` has trigonal pyramidal geometry. Natom has one lone pair and three bond pairs of electrons. The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal. The bond angles are lower than tetrahedral bond angles due to lone pair-lone pair and lone pair - bond pair repulsions. N atom is `sp^(3)` hybridised.
