Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To predict the shapes of the given molecules and ions based on VSEPR theory, we will analyze each molecule one by one. ### (i) ClF₃ (Chlorine Trifluoride) 1. **Determine the Valence Electrons**: Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, and each fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. Therefore, ClF₃ has: - Total valence electrons = 7 (from Cl) + 3 × 7 (from 3 F) = 28 electrons. 2. **Draw the Lewis Structure**: In ClF₃, Cl is the central atom bonded to three F atoms. There are 2 lone pairs on Cl. ...
