Assertion : $ClF_{3}$ molecule is isoelectronic with $SF_{4}$ but its geometry is T -shaped.

Reason: Five electron pairs present in $ClF_{3}$ in total consist of two lone pairs (lps) and three bond pairs (bps).

Answer:

Solution:

ClF₃ and SF₄ are not isoelectronic. ClF₃ has 5 electron pairs (2 lp, 3 bp), leading to T-shaped geometry.
