They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.
They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.
VSEPR stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, and it describes how valence (bonding) electrons are arranged around an atom, and how they are used in creating a bond. This then can be used to help predict the GEOMETRIC SHAPE of the molecule being formed.
Repulsion affect the geometry of a molecule.
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1There are 11 electrons orbiting around the nucleus of Na. The Last one (3s1) is the valance Electron.
Electronic configuration is a term used in atomic physics and quantum chemistry. This is the manner in which electrons of a specific atom or molecule are distributed in an atomic or molecular orbital.
Water molecules have a bent shape.
How the electrons are arranged around the atom, what sub level they're in, where they are. For example the electron configuration for NE is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Since Ne is a noble gas it has all a full energy level and doesn't want any more electrons. Neon's electron configuration will never change.
They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.
They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.
1st electron shell can hold 2 electrons;2nd electron shell can hold 8 electrons;3rd electron shell can hold 18 electrons;4th electron shell can hold 32 electrons.
They would be arranged in a trigonal planar orientation.
The electron orbits around the nucleus of a molecule, where the neutrons and protons are.
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.
to find the electron dot configuration of an element simply draw dots, symbolizing valance electrons, in a way that they are farthest from each other around the symbol of the element you are using.

Electrons are arranged around the atomic nucleus forming the electron clouds.
