    The shape of \[Cl{{F}_{3}}\] molecule is

    A)  triangular planar

    B)  pyramidal

    C)  T-shape

    D)  trigonal bipyramidal

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[Cl{{F}_{3}}=3\] bond pairs + 2 lone pairs \[\Rightarrow \] 5 hybrid orbitals So, the shape should be trigonal bipyramidal. But, the shape becomes T-shape because of the presence of two lone pairs of electrons.
