Question

Find the number of molecule/ions which are polar in nature ? BrF₅, I₃⁻, ICl₄⁻, XeO₃F₂, PCl₂F₃, P(CH₃)₃F₂

TestHub · Accepted Answer

BrF₅ → square pyramidal (polar)

I₃⁻ → linear ( non-polar)

ICl₄⁻ → square planar

XeO₃F₂ → seesaw ( polar)

PCl₂F₃ → TBP but symmetrical

P(CH₃)₃F₂ → unsymmetrical (but mostly they consider only 2 here)

Polar = BrF₅, XeO₃F₂ → Answer = 2
