☆☆☆☆☆trigonal pyramidal
The subscript of the second ion identifies the oxidation state of the transition metal
Four atoms bound to a central atom with no lone pairs
a molecule with two bound atoms and one lone electron pair -apex
The correct answer is: Bent.
The type of bond is determined by the difference in electrongativity of atoms
C.A molecule that has a symmetrical shape will be a nonpolar molecule.
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
Electron pairs
Six in p orbital, in each sublevel of p (px, py, pz) there are two electrons at max.
The atoms sharing the electron pairs will spread out around the central atom. Apex
Electronegativity and first ionization energy both increase as you move up the periodic table
3 atoms around a central atom with no lone pairs.
The lone pair repels the electrons of the adjacent bonds more so than does a bonding pair of electrons, so thus alters the molecular geometry of the molecule.
a hydrogen bond
