What is the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of scl2?

angular with 109.5 degree


Clf4- square planar b clf4 plus linear c no2- t-shaped d brf3 bent e co2 s?

a) ClF4- has a square planar geometry due to its five electron domains, with four bonding pairs and one lone pair. b) ClF4+ has a linear geometry with no lone pairs, resulting in a linear molecular shape. c) NO2- has a T-shaped geometry with three electron domains - one lone pair and two bonding pairs. d) BrF3 has a bent molecular geometry due to the presence of two lone pairs and two bonding pairs around the central atom. e) CO2 has a linear molecular geometry as it has two electron domains and no lone pairs around the central carbon atom.


How many unpaired electron s are present in CO?

:C triple bond O: This is the most prevalent dot structure (others also exist). In this there are 2 lone pairs (one on C and one on O)


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).


How do you draw a Lewis structure for SCl2?

Should BH3 and NH3 have the same shape?

NH3's shape is trigonal pyramidal, which has 1 e lone pairs and 3 bonding pairs, while BH3's shpe is trigonal planar, with 0 e lone pair and 3 bonding pairs. It's the force that electron lone pairs exert that pushes the molecules further and the repulsion force of lone pairs that aided in changing the shape of the molecules. Hence, the shape are different ...

What is the expected hybridization of the central atom of ICl3?

In icl3 central atom is iodine and its valency is 7 out of 7 electrons 3 electrons are in chemical bonding so 2 lone pairs are there. Hybridization = number of sigma bonds + number of lone pairs = 3 sigma bonds + 2 lone pairs = 5 = sp3d ( 1 s + 3 P + 1 d = 5 ).
