The F-B-F bond angle in the BF₃ molecule is ________. A)90° B)109.5° C)120° D)180° E)60°

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The BF₃ molecule consists of a central boron atom (B) bonded to two fluorine atoms (F), a sulfur atom (S), and two more boron atoms (B). The molecule has a trigonal planar structure with the three atoms F-B-F forming an equilateral triangle. In a planar structure, the bond angles between three atoms are 120°. Therefore, the F-B-F bond angle in the BF₃ molecule is 120°.
