The correct increasing order for bond angles among \(\mathrm{BF}_3, \mathrm{PF}_3\) and \(\mathrm{ClF}_3\)…

The correct increasing order for bond angles among \(\mathrm{BF}_3, \mathrm{PF}_3\) and \(\mathrm{ClF}_3\) is :
  1. \(\mathrm{BF}_3 < \mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{ClF}_3\)
  2. \(\mathrm{ClF}_3 < \mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{BF}_3\)
  3. \(\mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{BF}_3 < \mathrm{ClF}_3\)
  4. \(\mathrm{BF}_3=\mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{ClF}_3\)

Solution


Order of bond angle is $\mathrm{ClF}_3 < \mathrm{PF}_3 < \mathrm{BF}_3$
