The correct Answer is:
To identify the isostructural pairs among the given species (NF₃, NO₃⁻, BF₃, H₃O, HN₃), we need to analyze the molecular geometry of each species. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Determine the structure of NF₃ - **NF₃** has a nitrogen atom bonded to three fluorine atoms and has one lone pair on nitrogen. - The molecular geometry is **trigonal pyramidal** due to the presence of the lone pair. ### Step 2: Determine the structure of NO₃⁻ - **NO₃⁻** (nitrate ion) has a nitrogen atom bonded to three oxygen atoms with one of the bonds being a double bond and the others being single bonds. - The molecular geometry is **trigonal planar**. ### Step 3: Determine the structure of BF₃ - **BF₃** has a boron atom bonded to three fluorine atoms with no lone pairs. - The molecular geometry is also **trigonal planar**. ### Step 4: Determine the structure of H₃O⁺ - **H₃O⁺** (hydronium ion) has a central oxygen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and has one lone pair. - The molecular geometry is **trigonal pyramidal**. ### Step 5: Determine the structure of HN₃ - **HN₃** (hydrazoic acid) has a linear structure with nitrogen atoms connected in a straight line. - The molecular geometry is **linear**. ### Step 6: Identify isostructural pairs - From the analysis: - **NF₃** and **H₃O⁺** are both **trigonal pyramidal**. - **NO₃⁻** and **BF₃** are both **trigonal planar**. Thus, the isostructural pairs are: - **NF₃ and H₃O⁺** - **NO₃⁻ and BF₃** ### Final Answer: The isostructural pairs are: - NF₃ and H₃O⁺ - NO₃⁻ and BF₃ ---
