(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electron geometry, molecular geometry and the idealized bond angle for the given molecules and also, the molecules that deviate from their idealized bond angle is to be identified.

${\text{PF}}_{\text{3}}$

Concept introduction:VSEPR theory predicts the geometry of the molecule from its electron pair surrounding the central atom.
