The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the group of molecules having identical shape, we will analyze the hybridization and geometry of the given molecules in each option. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the molecules in each option:** - Option 1: SF4, XeF4, CCl4 - Option 2: ClF3, XeF2, XeF3+ - Option 3: NH3, H2O, CH4 - Option 4: BF3, AlCl3, SO3 2. **Analyze Option 1: SF4, XeF4, CCl4** - **SF4:** - Valence electrons: S (6) + 4 * F (7) = 6 + 28 = 34 - Total electron pairs = (34/2) = 17 pairs (not used here, just for understanding) - Hybridization: sp3d (5 electron pairs: 4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) - Shape: Seesaw (due to lone pair) - **XeF4:** - Valence electrons: Xe (8) + 4 * F (7) = 8 + 28 = 36 - Total electron pairs = (36/2) = 18 pairs - Hybridization: sp3d2 (6 electron pairs: 4 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs) - Shape: Square planar (due to lone pairs) - **CCl4:** - Valence electrons: C (4) + 4 * Cl (7) = 4 + 28 = 32 - Total electron pairs = (32/2) = 16 pairs - Hybridization: sp3 (4 bond pairs) - Shape: Tetrahedral - **Conclusion for Option 1:** Different shapes (Seesaw, Square planar, Tetrahedral) → Incorrect. 3. **Analyze Option 2: ClF3, XeF2, XeF3+** - **ClF3:** - Valence electrons: Cl (7) + 3 * F (7) = 7 + 21 = 28 - Total electron pairs = (28/2) = 14 pairs - Hybridization: sp3d (5 electron pairs: 3 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs) - Shape: T-shaped (due to lone pairs) - **XeF2:** - Valence electrons: Xe (8) + 2 * F (7) = 8 + 14 = 22 - Total electron pairs = (22/2) = 11 pairs - Hybridization: sp3d3 (5 electron pairs: 2 bond pairs + 3 lone pairs) - Shape: Linear (due to lone pairs) - **XeF3+:** - Valence electrons: Xe (8) + 3 * F (7) - 1 (for positive charge) = 8 + 21 - 1 = 28 - Total electron pairs = (28/2) = 14 pairs - Hybridization: sp3d2 (5 electron pairs: 3 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs) - Shape: T-shaped (due to lone pairs) - **Conclusion for Option 2:** Different shapes (T-shaped, Linear, T-shaped) → Incorrect. 4. **Analyze Option 3: NH3, H2O, CH4** - **NH3:** - Valence electrons: N (5) + 3 * H (1) = 5 + 3 = 8 - Total electron pairs = (8/2) = 4 pairs - Hybridization: sp3 (3 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) - Shape: Trigonal pyramidal - **H2O:** - Valence electrons: O (6) + 2 * H (1) = 6 + 2 = 8 - Total electron pairs = (8/2) = 4 pairs - Hybridization: sp3 (2 bond pairs + 2 lone pairs) - Shape: Bent - **CH4:** - Valence electrons: C (4) + 4 * H (1) = 4 + 4 = 8 - Total electron pairs = (8/2) = 4 pairs - Hybridization: sp3 (4 bond pairs) - Shape: Tetrahedral - **Conclusion for Option 3:** Different shapes (Trigonal pyramidal, Bent, Tetrahedral) → Incorrect. 5. **Analyze Option 4: BF3, AlCl3, SO3** - **BF3:** - Valence electrons: B (3) + 3 * F (7) = 3 + 21 = 24 - Total electron pairs = (24/2) = 12 pairs - Hybridization: sp2 (3 bond pairs) - Shape: Trigonal planar - **AlCl3:** - Valence electrons: Al (3) + 3 * Cl (7) = 3 + 21 = 24 - Total electron pairs = (24/2) = 12 pairs - Hybridization: sp2 (3 bond pairs) - Shape: Trigonal planar - **SO3:** - Valence electrons: S (6) + 3 * O (6) = 6 + 18 = 24 - Total electron pairs = (24/2) = 12 pairs - Hybridization: sp2 (3 bond pairs) - Shape: Trigonal planar - **Conclusion for Option 4:** All shapes are Trigonal planar → Correct. ### Final Answer: The group of molecules having identical shape is **Option 4: BF3, AlCl3, SO3**.

To solve the question regarding the group of molecules having identical shape, we will analyze the hybridization and geometry of the given molecules in each option. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the molecules in each option:** - Option 1: SF4, XeF4, CCl4 - Option 2: ClF3, XeF2, XeF3+ - Option 3: NH3, H2O, CH4 ...
