Question

For BF₃, CO₂, SF₆, XeF₄, NH₃, CH₄, BrF₃, SO₂, let x count nonpolar species with at least4 coplanar nuclei, and y nonpolar species with a ligand-pair angle below120°. Use ideal geometries and include central nuclei. Find x+2y.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Nonpolar set BF₃, CO₂, SF₆, XeF₄, CH₄. x=3 from BF₃, SF₆, XeF₄; y=3 from SF₆, XeF₄, CH₄. CO₂ has 180° only and BF₃120°. Result 3+6=9.
