    The molecule which has T-shaped structure is:

    A)  \[PC{{l}_{3}}\]          

    B)  \[Cl{{F}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]          

    D)  \[BC{{l}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[CI{{F}_{3}}\]has\[s{{p}^{3}}d\]hybridization. Out of five\[s{{p}^{3}}d\]hybrid orbitals two are completely filled by\[lp\] and three are half filled which overlap with three\[2{{p}_{z}}\] half-filled orbitals of three F-atoms. Due to the presence of two\[lps\]its geometry is bent T-shaphed. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  | \\  F \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  F \\  | \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\underset{\bullet }{\overset{\bullet }{\mathop{{}_{\bullet }^{\bullet }Cl}}}\,}}}\,-F\]
