The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds does not have a pyramidal shape, we will analyze the molecular geometry of each compound listed: tri-methylphosphine, tri-methylamine, tri-silile phosphine, and tri-silile amine. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds:** - Tri-methylphosphine (P(CH₃)₃) - Tri-methylamine (N(CH₃)₃) - Tri-silile phosphine (SiH₃)₃P - Tri-silile amine (SiH₃)₃N 2. **Determine the Hybridization:** - **Tri-methylphosphine (P(CH₃)₃):** - Phosphorus (P) is bonded to three methyl groups and has a lone pair. - Hybridization: sp³ - Geometry: Pyramidal shape due to the presence of a lone pair. - **Tri-methylamine (N(CH₃)₃):** - Nitrogen (N) is bonded to three methyl groups and has a lone pair. - Hybridization: sp³ - Geometry: Pyramidal shape due to the presence of a lone pair. - **Tri-silile phosphine ((SiH₃)₃P):** - Phosphorus (P) is bonded to three silane groups and has a lone pair. - Hybridization: sp³ - Geometry: Pyramidal shape due to the presence of a lone pair. - **Tri-silile amine ((SiH₃)₃N):** - Nitrogen (N) is bonded to three silane groups. - Hybridization: sp² (due to back bonding with silicon) - Geometry: Planar shape (not pyramidal) because of sp² hybridization. 3. **Conclusion:** - Among the given compounds, tri-silile amine (SiH₃)₃N does not have a pyramidal shape; it is planar due to sp² hybridization. ### Final Answer: The compound that does not have a pyramidal shape is **tri-silile amine (SiH₃)₃N**. ---
