The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
The lone pair pushes bonding electron pairs away.
It is POLAR because although the electron-domain geometry is octehedral and the molecular geometry is sq. pyrimidal, there is a pair of extra electron on Cl , forcing the actual molecular sketch to have a "bubble-like" appearance to show the extra pair of electrons that are sitting dormant on Cl... Hope this helps!!
Electron-pair repulsion results in the arrangement of electron pairs around an atom in a way that maximizes the distance between them. This leads to the formation of specific molecular geometries, which in turn influence the shape and properties of the molecule.
VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory provides a more intuitive understanding of molecular geometry by focusing on the spatial arrangement of electron pairs around a central atom, rather than just the electron sharing depicted in Lewis structures. While Lewis structures can represent bonding and lone pairs, VSEPR effectively accounts for the repulsive interactions between these electron pairs, leading to accurate predictions of molecular shapes. Additionally, VSEPR simplifies the complexity of molecular geometry by categorizing shapes based on electron pair arrangements, making it easier to visualize and understand molecular structures.

The molecular geometry of SO2 is bent, and the electron pair geometry is trigonal planar.

I'm unsure what the electron pair geometry is but the molecular geometry is Trigonal Planar.
electron pair geometry: octahedral molecular geometry: octahedral
the electron pair geometry would be trigonal planar because there is a lone pair on the oxygen atom. The molecular pair geometry would be bent
Trigonal Bipyramidal
i wanna know please what is the definition of electro pair effect?
PH3 has 3 bonding pairs and 1 non-bonding pair of electrons. Its electron pair geometry is Tetrahedral and its molecular geometry is Trigonal Pyramidal.
