∙ 10y agoIt depends upon number of bonds and lone pairs. 1.Number of bonds-2 lone pair-1 shape is Angular lone pairs-2 shape is Angular lone pairs-3 shape is Linear 2.Number of bonds-3 lone pairs-1 shape is Pyramid lone pairs-2 shape is T shape 3.Number of bonds-4 lone pairs-1 shape is See Saw lone pairs-2 shape is Square Planer 4.Number of bondsg-5 lone pairs1-1 shape is Square pyramidal

pyramidal has a charge cloud of 4 while BENT has a charge cloud of 3

What effect does a lone electron have on a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What effect does a lone electron pair have a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What are the three of the many possible shapes of molecules?
Without given a specific molecule there is not any way to determine the shape. Beryllium chloride consists of beryllium in the middle and a chlorine on each side, and is in the shape of a straight line.
Which molecular shape has two lone pairs and two bonding pairs of electrons around the central atom?
linear
What is the molecular shape of HClO?
It is a bent molecule because of Oxygen's lone pairs
What is the molecular shape of a molecule that has two electron pairs in which both pairs are shared?
linear
What does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What effect does a lone electron have on a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What effect does a lone electron pair on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What effect does a lone electron pair have a molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
What is the difference between the arrangement of electron pairs and the shape of the molecules?
The shape of a molecule only describes the arrangement of bonds around a central atom. The arrangement of electron pairs describes how both the bonding and nonbonding electron pair are arranged. For example, in its molecular shape, a water molecule is describes as bent, with two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. However, the arrangement of electron pairs around the oxygen atom is tetrahedral as there are two bonding pairs (shared with the hydrogen) and also two nonbonding pairs.
How does the VSEPR theory explain molecular shape?
Electron pairs repelling each other push atoms apart.
Molecular shape of PH3?
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
What are the three of the many possible shapes of molecules?
Without given a specific molecule there is not any way to determine the shape. Beryllium chloride consists of beryllium in the middle and a chlorine on each side, and is in the shape of a straight line.
What causes water molecules to have a bent shape according to VSEPR threory?
Repulsion of the unshared electron pairs (2)and the bonded pairs (2) around the central oxygen atom. Repulsion of these 4 electron pairs attempts to form a tetrahedral shape. Describing the molecular shape, we ignore the unshared electrons and just describe the shape of the molecule based on the location of the atoms, thus bent.
How does number of electron pairs around central atom determine its shape?
The electron pairs repel one another. The electron pairs can be in chemical bonds or be present as "lone pairs". This is the basis of VSEPR theory proposed by Gillespie and Nyholm. Who both shared the first name of Ronald! (British readers may see the humour in that )
What effect does a lone electron pair have on molecular shape?
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
