Which of the following is non-planar? a)BF3 b) C2H4 c) XeF4 d) NH3 |

Answer» Answer: a) BF3 Explanation: Boron has only 3 VALENCE electrons, so when it BONDS with F there will only be 3 electron pairs around the boron atom. Repulsion THEORY predicts that these three e- pairs should find themselves at the VERTICES of an equilateral triangle (bond angles of 120 degrees). Thus, BF3 is planar triangular.
