Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
The dipole moment of A X 3 ,   B X 3 and C X 3 are 1.5 D, 0.5 D and 0 D respectively. The possible shapes of molecules may be (consider C has no Lone pair) (A, B and C are are more electronegative than X)
Options
- APyramidal, T-shape, Trigonal planar respectively.
- BT-shape, Pyramidal, Square planar respectively.
- CT-shape, Pyramidal, Trigonal planar respectively.
- DPyramidal, T-shape, Square planar respectively.
Correct answer
A. Pyramidal, T-shape, Trigonal planar respectively.
Step-by-step solution
Maximum dipole moment for M X 3 type structures would be in pyramidal while least would be in trigonal planar.
