Vedclass · Answer

(B) In $	ext{ClF}_3$, the central chlorine atom has $7$ valence electrons.It forms $3$ covalent bonds with fluorine atoms, leaving $2$ lone pairs on the chlorine atom.According to the $VSEPR$ theory, the steric number is $3 + 2 = 5$, which corresponds to $sp^3d$ hybridization.The presence of $2$ lone pairs in the equatorial positions of the trigonal bipyramidal electron geometry results in a $T$-shaped molecular geometry.
