What type of bonding around a central atom would result in a trigonal planar?
Three groups bound to it with no lone pairs
What is the hybridisation state of central atom in nh3 and bf3?
The central atom of ammonia is nitrogen and it has 3 bonding pairs and a lone pair around, hence it undergoes sp3 hybridization. The central atom of boron trifluoride is the boron atom, and around it has only three bonding pairs. So it hybridizes as sp2.
Is a carbonate ion polar?
The carbonate ion, or CO3 2- has 24 electrons and its structure is trigonal planar. It is non-polar because the trigonal planar is symmetrical.
Which molecular shape has two lone pairs and two bonding pairs of electrons around the central atom?
linear
What is the molecular geometry around the central atom of a phosphorous trifloride molecule?
tigonal pyramidal
What type of bonding around a central would result in a trigonal planar molecule -apex?
3 atoms around a central atom with no lone pairs.
What type of bonding around a central atom would result in trigonal planar molecule?
Three groups bound to it with no lone pairs
A molecule having four total electron groups around the central atom has three bonding electron groups and one nonbonding electron group what is its molecular structure?
trigonal pyramidal
What type of bonding around a central atom would result in a trigonal planar?
Three groups bound to it with no lone pairs
What is electronic geometry of molecules?
the electronic geometry is the arrangement of REDs around the central atom. these REDs consist of both bonding pairs and lone pairs where the bonding pairs can either be single, double or tripple bonds. . REDs ELECTRONIC GEOMETRY 2 LINEAR 3 TRIGONAL PLANAR 4 TETRAHEDRAL 5 TRIGONAL BYPYRAMIDAL 6 OCTAHEDRAL
Is the shape of PCl3 trigonal planar or pyramidal?
Trigonal Pyramidal. It is not trigonal planar because there is one lone pair around the central atom, just like the shape of ammonia.
What is the shape of the molecule of nbr3?
The lone unbonded pair of electrons around nitrogen dictates that the NBr3 molecule will have a 3-D trigonal pyramidal shape.
Why does the presence of lone pairs contribute to the polarity of a water molecule?
How do lone pairs around the central atom affect the polarity of the molecule?
Is NH4 linear?
No. First of all, NH2- is an ion, not a molecule. Second, it has a bent geometry, similar to that of a water molecule.
What is the molecular geometry if you have 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair around the central atom?
Trigonal Pyramidal
What shape is represented by three bound groups and one lone pair around a central atom?
Trigonal pyramidal
For which of the following molecules would the intermolecular forces be due mainly to London forces CH3COCH3 O2 CH3OH SO3 H2S?
Ok let's look at the different molecules: 1. CH3COCH3 is acetone. The molecule is a trigonal planar around the central carbon with the electronegative oxygen pulling electron density towards itself. So this is a polar molecule. 2. O2 is non-polar and relies only on dispersion forces. 3. CH3OH is has hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole forces, and dispersion forces. 4. SO3 is a trigonal planar molecule with three oxygens around the sulfur, making it non-polar. Therefore it relies only on dispersion forces. 5. H2S is another polar molecule (bent by two lone pairs on the sulfur). So SO3 and O2 are the two molecules relying mainly on dispersion (London) forces.
