The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each species provided in the list to determine if they have a bond angle equal to or less than \(109^\circ 28'\) and if they act as a Lewis base. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Species**: The species given are: - \(NH_3\) - \(NMe_3\) - \(O(SiH_3)_2\) - \(ICl_4^-\) - \(XeO_3\) - \(BF_2Cl\) - \(SiF_4\) - \(AsH_3\) - \(SO_2F_2\) 2. **Analyze Each Species**: - **\(NH_3\)**: - Bond angle: Approximately \(107^\circ\) (due to lone pair repulsion). - Acts as a Lewis base: Yes. - **\(NMe_3\)** (Trimethylamine): - Bond angle: Less than \(107^\circ\) (due to steric hindrance from methyl groups). - Acts as a Lewis base: Yes. - **\(O(SiH_3)_2\)**: - Bond angle: Less than \(109^\circ\) (due to lone pairs on oxygen). - Acts as a Lewis base: Yes. - **\(ICl_4^-\)**: - Bond angle: \(90^\circ\) (square planar structure). - Acts as a Lewis base: Yes. - **\(XeO_3\)**: - Bond angle: Approximately \(120^\circ\) (trigonal pyramidal). - Acts as a Lewis base: Yes. - **\(BF_2Cl\)**: - Bond angle: Approximately \(120^\circ\) (trigonal planar). - Acts as a Lewis base: No. - **\(SiF_4\)**: - Bond angle: \(109.5^\circ\) (tetrahedral). - Acts as a Lewis base: No. - **\(AsH_3\)**: - Bond angle: Approximately \(92^\circ\) (due to lone pair). - Acts as a Lewis base: Yes. - **\(SO_2F_2\)**: - Bond angle: Approximately \(120^\circ\) (bent structure). - Acts as a Lewis base: No. 3. **Count the Species**: - The species that have a bond angle equal to or less than \(109^\circ 28'\) and act as Lewis bases are: - \(NH_3\) - \(NMe_3\) - \(O(SiH_3)_2\) - \(ICl_4^-\) - \(AsH_3\) This gives us a total of **5 species**. ### Final Answer: The total number of species among the given options, in which the bond angle is equal to or less than \(109^\circ 28'\) and also act as Lewis bases is **5**.
