Identify the correct statement about ClF3 from the following options :

  1. It has T-shaped geometry with three lone pairs on Cl atom.
  2. It has T-shaped geometry with two lone pairs on Cl atom.
  3. It has a trigonal pyramidal geometry with two lone pairs on Cl atom.
  4. It has a planar trigonal geometry with two lone pairs on Cl atom.

Answer

(2) It has T-shaped geometry with two lone pairs on Cl atom.

Solution

Cl has 7 valence electrons; 3 are used in bonds with three F atoms.

⇒ bond pairs = 3, lone pairs = 7-32 = 2 ⇒ total 5 electron pairs ⇒ sp3d, trigonal bipyramidal arrangement

As per NCERT (VSEPR theory), the two lone pairs occupy equatorial positions to minimise lp–bp repulsions

∴ ClF3 is T-shaped with two lone pairs on Cl.

Answer: (2)
