The correct Answer is:
To determine the group having triangular planar structures, we need to analyze the hybridization and steric numbers of the given compounds. The key to identifying the geometry of a molecule lies in its hybridization, which can be determined by calculating the steric number. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hybridization and Geometry**: - **sp hybridization** corresponds to a linear geometry (steric number = 2). - **sp² hybridization** corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry (steric number = 3). - **sp³ hybridization** corresponds to a tetrahedral geometry (steric number = 4). 2. **Calculating Steric Number**: - The steric number is calculated as: \[ \text{Steric Number} = \text{Number of Lone Pairs} + \text{Number of Bond Pairs} \] 3. **Analyzing Each Compound**: - **Option A: BF₃**: - Boron has 3 valence electrons and forms 3 bonds with fluorine. - Steric Number = 0 (lone pairs) + 3 (bond pairs) = 3. - Hybridization = sp² → Geometry = Trigonal Planar. - **Option A: NF₃**: - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with fluorine, and has 1 lone pair. - Steric Number = 1 (lone pair) + 3 (bond pairs) = 4. - Hybridization = sp³ → Geometry = Tetrahedral (not trigonal planar). - **Option A: CO₃²⁻**: - Carbon has 4 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with oxygen, and has no lone pairs. - Steric Number = 0 (lone pairs) + 3 (bond pairs) = 3. - Hybridization = sp² → Geometry = Trigonal Planar. 4. **Continuing with Other Options**: - **Option B: NO₃⁻**: - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with oxygen, and has no lone pairs. - Steric Number = 0 (lone pairs) + 3 (bond pairs) = 3. - Hybridization = sp² → Geometry = Trigonal Planar. - **Option B: SO₃**: - Sulfur has 6 valence electrons, forms 3 bonds with oxygen, and has no lone pairs. - Steric Number = 0 (lone pairs) + 3 (bond pairs) = 3. - Hybridization = sp² → Geometry = Trigonal Planar. 5. **Final Analysis**: - From the analysis, BF₃, CO₃²⁻, NO₃⁻, and SO₃ all have a trigonal planar structure. - NF₃ does not have a trigonal planar structure as it is pyramidal due to the lone pair. ### Conclusion: The group having triangular planar structures is **Option B: CO₃²⁻, NO₃⁻, and SO₃**. ---
