Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The bond angles about each highlighted atom needs to be predicted using the VSEPR model.
Concept Introduction: According to VSEPR model, geometry and bond angles of an atom can be determined from its hybridization which can be determined from the number of bond pairs and lone pair of electrons associated with it.
The Lewis structure of compound plays an important role here as it involves the arrangement of valence electrons which tells about the actual number of bond pair and lone pair present in an atom.
(b)
Interpretation: The bond angles about each highlighted atom needs to be predicted using the VSEPR model.
