(a) is octahedral in shape
(b) is trigonal bipyramidal in shape
(c) is T-shaped

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to identify fluoride molecules that correspond to the specified molecular shapes: octahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and T-shaped. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step 1: Octahedral Shape 1. **Identify the central atom**: The octahedral shape typically involves a central atom bonded to six other atoms. 2. **Example**: A well-known example of a molecule with an octahedral shape is sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆). 3. **Explanation**: In SF₆, sulfur (S) is the central atom and is surrounded by six fluorine (F) atoms. The hybridization of SF₆ is sp³d², which allows for the octahedral geometry. **Formula**: SF₆ ...
