The molecular is highly polar and is majorly used for the production of uranium hexafluoride. It is a T-shaped molecule with a bond angle of 86.2°.

Thus one can say that Bromine trifluoride is polar.īromine Trifluoride or BrF3 is a strong fluorinating agent, and its central atom has sp3d hybridization. The unshared pairs or the lone pairs are located in the plane of the triangle, causing an uneven distribution of negative charge around the central bromine atom and, in turn, makes the compound highly polar. The bonds of Br-F are considered polar because of a relatively high difference in electronegativity values of fluorine and bromine atoms in the compound. The angle is formed due to the electron pairs’ repulsion, which is greater than that of the Br-F bonds. So the hybridization of the BrF3 molecule is sp3d.īrF3 molecular geometry is said to be T-shaped or trigonal bipyramidal (as discussed) with a bond angle of 86.2°, which is slightly smaller than the usual 90°. As the hybridization value or the electron pair is equal to 5, it gives rise to sp3d hybrid orbitals. After the bond formation, it will further have two lone pairs and 3 Br-F covalent bonds (bonding pairs). Now, Bromine can use the d-orbitals for hybridization.īrF3 consists of seven electrons in its outermost shell. This is possible because fluorine has a higher oxidative capacity, and hence it forces Bromine to promote electrons to the said level. However, to form bonds with the fluorine atoms, some electrons in Bromine are shifted to 4d-orbitals.

To determine the hybridization of bromine trifluoride, let’s first take the bromine atom, the central atom, and look at its electron configuration. These orbitals hybridise to form six new sp3d2 hybrid orbitals, which are projected towards the six corners of a regular. In the exited state the available six orbitals i.e., one s, three p and two d are singly occupied by electrons. Still, to minimize the repulsion between the lone pairs, there is a bent in its shape, which makes this molecule T-shaped. In SF6 the central sulphur atom has the ground state outer electronic configuration 3s23p4. This results in three bonded pairs of electrons and two lone pairs.Īccording to the VSEPR theory, the molecular shape of the molecule should be trigonal pyramidal. Each fluorine atoms has nine electrons, and there are seven valence electrons in the outer shell of the Bromine molecule, out of which three electrons form bonds with three fluorine atoms. BrF3 is a perfect example of an AX5 molecule with two lone pairs of electrons and three bonded pairs of electrons.
