Chapter 9, Problem 9.79QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The length of the P-F bond in Phosphorus trifluoride has to be estimated via covalent radii.

Concept introduction:

Bond length: bond order and bond length is inversely proportional to each other.  Bond length increases means the bond order decreases.
