Interpretation:
The shape around each central atom in
Concept introduction:
The following steps are used to determine the molecular shape of the given molecule.
Step 1: Write the Lewis structure of the given formula and place the atoms.
Step 2: Count all electron groups including bonding and non-bonding pairs around the central atom and use it to assign one of the five electron-group arrangement.
Step 3: Write the ideal bond angle related to the electron-group arrangement and the effect of any deviation can be predicted by using VSEPR.
Step 4: Count the bonding and non-bonding electron groups and draw the molecular shape accordingly.
