Determine the molecular geometry for ClF3ClF3. a. seesaw
b. trigonal bipyramidal
c. square pyramidal
d. octahedral

The correct option is b

Explanation:

Firstly, the compound is ClF₃ and not ClF₃ClF₃. The name of the compound ClF₃ is chlorine trifluoride. It's electron geometry is trigonal bipyramidal (with the chlorine at the center and the atoms of the fluorine forming a triangular bipyramid around it) with a bond angle of 175° with an hybridization of sp³d.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
