Question

(03.05 LC)
Look at the image shown

What does this image represent?

1.Linear molecule with one domain

2.Linear molecule with two domains

3.Tetrahedral molecule with four domains

4.Trigonal planar molecule with three domains

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is 4

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a molecular geometry (as shown in the image in the question) referred to as trigonal planar; this is because each of the the fluorine atoms/molecules (bonded to the central boron atom) is placed in such a way that they form the three "end points"/"domains" of an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct option is the last option.
