Three groups bound to it with no lone pairs
three groups bound to it with no lone pairs
The central atom of ammonia is nitrogen and it has 3 bonding pairs and a lone pair around, hence it undergoes sp3 hybridization. The central atom of boron trifluoride is the boron atom, and around it has only three bonding pairs. So it hybridizes as sp2.
linear
YES it is. This is because there are 3 electron clouds around the central Sulfur atom. These clouds repel each other as far apart as possible (120 degrees) because electron clouds are negative and like charges repel. All three of these are bonded so the overall shape is trigonal planar.

trigonal pyramidal
the electronic geometry is the arrangement of REDs around the central atom. these REDs consist of both bonding pairs and lone pairs where the bonding pairs can either be single, double or tripple bonds. .

Trigonal Pyramidal. It is not trigonal planar because there is one lone pair around the central atom, just like the shape of ammonia.
Trigonal Pyramidal
Trigonal pyramidal
Correct Answer : Trigonal Pyramid
Yes it is. (because of the lone pairs on N)
The central atom of ammonia is nitrogen and it has 3 bonding pairs and a lone pair around, hence it undergoes sp3 hybridization. The central atom of boron trifluoride is the boron atom, and around it has only three bonding pairs. So it hybridizes as sp2.
