JEE Main 2024 — 9 April, Shift 2 — Question 57

The correct increasing order for bond angles among BF3,PF3\mathrm{BF}_{3}, \mathrm{PF}_{3} and CℓF3\mathrm{C} \ell \mathrm{F}_{3} is :

  1. Option A:

    PF3<BF3<CℓF3\mathrm{PF}_{3}<\mathrm{BF}_{3}<\mathrm{C} \ell \mathrm{F}_{3}

  2. Option B:

    BF3<PF3<CℓF3\mathrm{BF}_{3}<\mathrm{PF}_{3}<\mathrm{C} \ell \mathrm{F}_{3}

  3. Option C:

    CF3<PF3<BF3\mathrm{C}_{\text {}} \mathrm{F}_{3}<\mathrm{PF}_{3}<\mathrm{BF}_{3}

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    BF3=PF3<CℓF3\mathrm{BF}_{3}=\mathrm{PF}_{3}<\mathrm{C} \ell \mathrm{F}_{3}
