Chapter 1, Problem 1.9P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The approximate geometry of $\left[{\text{BF}}_4^{-}\right]$ is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The three dimensional arrangement of atoms possesses by the molecule in space is known as the molecular geometry. The molecular geometry of any molecule is identified by using the central metal atom, pair of electrons and atoms surrounding the central atom with the help of VSEPR theory.
