The correct Answer is:
To determine which species has a pyramidal shape from the given options (SO3, BRF3, SiO3, OSF2), we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze SO3 - **Hybridization**: SO3 has sulfur in the center bonded to three oxygen atoms. - **Shape**: The shape of SO3 is trigonal planar due to sp² hybridization. There are no lone pairs on the sulfur atom. - **Conclusion**: SO3 is not pyramidal. ### Step 2: Analyze BRF3 - **Hybridization**: In BRF3, bromine is bonded to three fluorine atoms and has two lone pairs of electrons. - **Shape**: The presence of lone pairs leads to a T-shaped geometry, which is not pyramidal. - **Conclusion**: BRF3 is not pyramidal. ### Step 3: Analyze SiO3 - **Hybridization**: SiO3 has silicon in the center bonded to three oxygen atoms. - **Shape**: Similar to SO3, SiO3 is also trigonal planar due to sp² hybridization. There are no lone pairs on silicon. - **Conclusion**: SiO3 is not pyramidal. ### Step 4: Analyze OSF2 - **Hybridization**: In OSF2, oxygen is bonded to one sulfur atom and two fluorine atoms. - **Shape**: The presence of one lone pair on the oxygen leads to a pyramidal shape (specifically, a bent or angular shape). - **Conclusion**: OSF2 has a pyramidal shape. ### Final Answer The species having a pyramidal shape is **OSF2**. ---
