Why does ammonia has a pyramidal shape?
Ammonia (NH3) has a pyramidal shape because of its sp3 hybridization. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom repels the bonding pairs, causing the molecule to adopt a trigonal pyramidal geometry.
What is 3 single bonds and a lone pair on a central atom?
That would be Trigonal Pyramidal in shape and have an sp3 hybridization.
Why xeo3 and xeo4 has sp3 hybridization?
XeO3 is sp3 since Xe has three bonds to oxygens and one long pair of electrons. These 4 together conclude a tetrahedral shape and hybridize as sp3 where 1 of the four electrons reside in the s and each p orbital. so, s gets one leaving 3 for the p orbital, thus sp3. XeO4 is kind of the same except it is bonded to 4 Oxygens and those 4 bonds spread out into the s and p orbitals in such that one is in the s and 3 in the p orbitals. together they make sp3. Now why are they both the same is because long pair electrons in this case count as a bond so the XeO3 that had one long pair electron in fact is like if it had 4 bonds. I hope this enlightened you and helped.
Molecular geometry of SO3 2-?
VSEPR notation is AX3E Tetra Pyramidal angle is 109.5 degrees sp3 hybridization VSEPR notation is AX3E Tetra Pyramidal angle is 109.5 degrees sp3 hybridization
What hybridization of SCl4?
In this compound, the central atom, sulfur, has one lone pair and four bond pairs, and it takes the see-saw shape according to VSEPR theory. Its hybridisatio is approximately sp3d
What is the molecular shape of NClO2?
An NCl3 molecule would be a trigonal pyramidal because it has one center N atom with 3 Cl surrounding it, but also a lone pair of electrons on the top which bends the molecule downward, forming a trigonal pyramidal. Its electron shape would be tetrahedral, that is when you count the lone pairs of electrons as bonds themselves.
What is the shape of sp3?
sp3 orbitals are similar in shape to p orbitals however one side is much larger than the other - hence you have a lopsided dunbell shape orbital
Devise a hybridization scheme for PCl3 and predict the molecular shape based on this scheme?
The hybridization scheme for PCl3 is sp3. This is because the central phosphorus atom forms three sigma bonds with chlorine atoms, requiring four electron pairs around the phosphorus atom. The molecular shape is trigonal pyramidal, with the three chlorine atoms arranged in a triangular pyramid around the central phosphorus atom.
What is the shape bond angle and hybridization of plus CH3?
CH3 is a trigonal planar and has a hybridization of sp3
What is the shape of K2S?
i don't know....... maybe the cation is sp3 hybridization?
What is the hybridisation of nicl4?
tetrahedral for electron pair geometry trigonal pyramidal for molecular geometry
What is the molecular geometry of sulfite?
It's trigonal pyramidal. You can do an easy calculation by considering the number of valence electrons, in this case 26, and then drawing a Lewis structure. The Lewis structure will have 8 electrons on each of the Oxygen atoms and a single lone pair on the sulfur. This lone pair gives Sulfite sp3 hybridized orbitals and trigonal pyramidal geometry.
