Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

Question Explanation :

Identify the molecule ( s ) that are planar from the list ${\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{Cl}}_2,{\mathrm{XeF}}_4,{\mathrm{SO}}_3$, and ${\mathrm{NF}}_3$.

Concept :

VESEPR theory and molecular planarity ( $\mathrm{LP}=0$ or ${\mathrm{AX}}_4{\mathrm{E}}_2$ ).

Solution:

Planar condition : All atoms lie in one plane (e.g., Trigonal planar , Square Planar)
