The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given molecules has a pyramidal shape, we will analyze each option based on their molecular geometry and hybridization. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The options given are: - A) NH3 (Ammonia) - B) SiF4 (Silicon Tetrafluoride) - C) H2O (Water) - D) BF3 (Boron Trifluoride) 2. **Analyze NH3 (Ammonia)**: - Ammonia (NH3) has a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms and has one lone pair of electrons. - The hybridization of nitrogen in NH3 is **sp³**. - The presence of the lone pair pushes the hydrogen atoms down, resulting in a **trigonal pyramidal shape**. - **Conclusion**: NH3 has a pyramidal shape. 3. **Analyze SiF4 (Silicon Tetrafluoride)**: - Silicon Tetrafluoride (SiF4) has a silicon atom bonded to four fluorine atoms. - The hybridization of silicon in SiF4 is also **sp³**. - There are no lone pairs on the silicon atom, resulting in a **tetrahedral shape**. - **Conclusion**: SiF4 does not have a pyramidal shape. 4. **Analyze H2O (Water)**: - Water (H2O) has an oxygen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and has two lone pairs of electrons. - The hybridization of oxygen in H2O is **sp³**. - The two lone pairs push the hydrogen atoms closer together, resulting in a **bent or V-shaped structure**. - **Conclusion**: H2O does not have a pyramidal shape. 5. **Analyze BF3 (Boron Trifluoride)**: - Boron Trifluoride (BF3) has a boron atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. - The hybridization of boron in BF3 is **sp²**. - There are no lone pairs on the boron atom, resulting in a **trigonal planar shape**. - **Conclusion**: BF3 does not have a pyramidal shape. ### Final Conclusion: The only molecule among the options that has a pyramidal shape is **NH3 (Ammonia)**. ---
