1. predict the shape and bond angle for the compound carbon :tetrafloride, CF4
:phosphorus trifluoride, PF3
:Fluoride monoxide, F2O
2. predict type of hybridized orbitals involved in the compound boron trichloride, BCl3
3. what type of hybrid orbitals are involved in the bonding of the silicon atoms in silicon tetrafluoride, SiF4?

CF4: Tetrahdetral :109
PF3:Pyramidal: 96
F2O: Bent: 180
Boron has sp2 hybridization and all Chlorines have sp3 Hybridization
Silicon has a sp3 and Flourine is sp Hybridization

CF4 is tetrahedral like CH4 the angle is around 109.
PF3 is pyramid like NH3 but the angels are smaller than 107. it must be around 98. because the F atoms are smaller where P is larger.
F2O is like water bent, but the angel is less than water. something around 95 maybe.
BCl3 uses sp2 hybrid for B and 3p orbitals for Cl
SF4 uses sp3 and 2p orbitals for F (like CF4 or CH4)
