In ammonia, a central nitrogen atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms. similarly, boron trifluoride has a central boron atom bonded to three fluorine atoms. however, ammonia is pyramidal and boron trifluoride is trigonal planar in shape. which statement justifies this difference in their structure?
a. the lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.
b. the lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.
c. the lone pair of electrons in boron trifluoride stabilizes the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a planar structure.
d. the lone pair of electrons in ammonia increases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a pyramidal structure.
e. the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen in ammonia decreases the bond angle between the bonding pairs, giving it a pyramidal structure.

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.
