Which molecule has a trigonal planar geometry?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: B) BF\u2083<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation<\/strong>:<br>The geometry of a molecule depends on its central atom and the surrounding atoms. Boron trifluoride (BF\u2083) has a central boron atom surrounded by three fluorine atoms. Boron has three valence electrons and forms three single bonds with fluorine, leaving no lone pairs on boron. According to VSEPR theory, the molecule adopts a trigonal planar geometry to minimize electron pair repulsion, with bond angles of 120\u00b0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other molecules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CHF\u2083<\/strong>: Tetrahedral geometry due to four regions of electron density.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OF\u2082<\/strong>: Bent geometry due to two lone pairs on oxygen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SiH\u2084<\/strong>: Tetrahedral geometry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PF\u2083<\/strong>: Trigonal pyramidal due to one lone pair on phosphorus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Lewis structure for SBr\u2082: How many single bonds, double bonds, and lone pairs on sulfur?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: A) 2 single bonds, 0 double bonds, 2 lone pairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation<\/strong>:<br>Sulfur is the central atom in SBr\u2082. It forms two single bonds with two bromine atoms. Sulfur has six valence electrons, so after bonding with bromine (which contributes two electrons), four electrons remain as two lone pairs on sulfur. There are no double bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Which compound is a strong electrolyte?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer: C) NaF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation<\/strong>:<br>A strong electrolyte dissociates completely into ions in water. Sodium fluoride (NaF) is an ionic compound and dissociates into Na\u207a and F\u207b in water, making it a strong electrolyte. Water (H\u2082O) and methanol (CH\u2084O) are covalent and do not dissociate significantly, while O\u2082 and CH\u2084 are non-electrolytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.
