What is the molecular geometry of BF3.
A
Linear
B
Bent
C
Trigonal Pyramidal
D
Trigonal Planar
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To be more precise, the BF3 molecular geometry is trigonal planar. It further has symmetric charge distribution on the central atom and is nonpolar. The bond angle is 120o where all the atoms are in one plane. Each of them also makes an equilateral triangle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The BF3 molecule exhibits a ‘Trigonal Planar’ geometry. This model contains three atoms that wrap around one atom in the centre and is referred to as a ‘Trigonal Planar’. This plane seems like all peripheral atoms exist in one place. There are 120° bond angles on each of them that make them an equilateral triangle.

Detailed explanation-3: -∴BF3 has trigonal planar geometry.

Detailed explanation-4: -The molecule is ‘trigonal planar’. This is because the central atom, boron, is attached to three fluorine atoms, and each fluorine atom repels the other fluorine atoms as much as possible.

Detailed explanation-5: -The geometry of molecule of BF3 is ‘Trigonal Planar. ‘ With the reference of Chemistry, ‘Trigonal Planar’ is a model with three atoms around one atom in the middle.
