Select the true statements.

A) BF 3 has a trigonal planar shape.
B) Molecules with three outer atoms always have a trigonal planar shape.
C) NH 3 has a trigonal planar shape.
D) Trigonal planar molecules have three regions of high-electron density around the central at

A) and D)

Explanation:

A) BF 3 has a trigonal planar shape

TRUE.

BF₃ has three bonding pairs and no lone pairs. According to VSEPR theory, it is an AX₃ molecule with trigonal planar geometry.

B) Molecules with three outer atoms always have a trigonal planar shape.

False

NH₃ has three outer atoms but a trigonal pyramidal shape.  

C) NH₃ has a trigonal planar shape

False.

NH₃ has three bonding pairs and one lone pair. According to VSEPR theory, it is an AX₃E molecule with trigonal bipyramidal geometry.

D) Trigonal planar molecules have three regions of high-electron density around the central atom

TRUE

The regions of high-electron density are the three bonding pairs.

why is cellular respiration important for homeostasis?

it changes food into energy that the organism can use.

which of the following is most likely to happen if a cell is not able to divide?

the cell will not be replaced when it is damaged.

explanation:

1. they vary with a higher number because boiling is way hotter than melting
