What factors affect the shape of the molecule?
The factors affecting the shape of the molecules are the bonded e and the lone pairs of electrons
What affects shape of a molecule?
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
How many lone pairs does So4 have?
The short answer to your question is eight. Here is the long answer: SO3 has a total of 24 valence electrons. The central S is bonded to each of the O atoms. In the dot structure, one of the O atoms is double bonded to the S while the others have a single bond. This gives S its octet, using 8 of the valence electrons. The remaining 16 electrons exist as lone pairs. The two single bonded oxygens each have three lone pairs of electrons to obtain their octet. The double bonded oxygen has two lone pairs to obtain its octet. Since the double bond oxygen could be any of the three oxygens, the molecule is actually a combination of all three structures (the resonance structure).
What is the molecular shape of a molecular that has two electron pairs in which both pairs are shared?
linear
What is the Lewis Dot Structure IBr4?
I is the central atom single bonded to the 4 Br atoms. I also has 2 lone pairs of electrons. It may also be written without showing the lone pairs on any of the electrons, but with a negative charge on the I atom instead (that's how it was on my homework).
If two atoms are bonded to a central atom with no lone pairs how will they be arranged?
linear
Molecular geometry of XeO2F2?
see-saw shaped. Note that the MOLECULAR structure is only concerned about the BONDED atoms, not the lone pairs. Although we take the lone pairs repulsive effects into consideration, we do not include them when DESCRIBING the shape of the bonded atoms
What factors affect the shape of the molecule?
The factors affecting the shape of the molecules are the bonded e and the lone pairs of electrons
Which shape would represent a molecule with two bonded atoms and three lone pairs on only one of them?
linear
Whuch of the following are classified as an electron group?
Lone-pair electrons, Bonded pairs of electrons
If two atoms are bonded to central atom with no lone pairs how will they be arranged?
linear
Does a diatomic atom contain two lone pairs?
No. There is no such thing as a diatomic atom. A diatomic molecule is a molecule that contains two atoms. The number of lone pairs depends on what atoms are bonded.
How do non-bonded electron pairs help determine the shape of molecules?
Non bonded pairs have a higher force of repulsion than bonded pairs, as the bonded pairs also feel the pull of another positive nucleus. The shape of a molecule is distorted. 2 example - NH3 (one lone pair) & H2O (2 lone pairs). NH3 is trigonal pyramidal while H2O is bent.
Which shape has a central atom with one unshared pair of electrons?
When there are two atoms bonded to the central atom and no lone pairs, the molecule adopts a linear shape. When lone pairs are present, bent geometry can be present.
Why bond angle of bf3 is 120?
It has 3 bonded pairs with no lone pairs. These bonded pairs repel evenly between each electron pair. So it is a trigonal planar shape.
Will pcl3 have the same shape as bcl3?
No,pcl3 has one lone pair and three bonded pair , shape of trigonal pyramidal with a bond angle of 107 degrees whereas bcl3 has 3 bonded pairs and no lone pairs , shape of trigonal planar with the bond angle of 120 degrees.
If two atoms are bonded to a central atom with no lone pairs how will they be placed?
One on each side (at 180º) of the central atom.
