Chapter 13, Problem 54E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecules which are trigonal planar or trigonal pyramidal in shape are to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The molecular shape will be trigonal planar when the molecule contains three bonded electron pair at the central atom with no lone pair of electrons. In trigonal planar molecules, the central atom is directly attached to three atoms.

The molecular shape will be trigonal pyramidal when the molecule contains three bonded electron pair at the central atom with one lone pair of electrons. In trigonal pyramidal, the central atom are directly attached to three atoms and bear one lone pair of electron.

Answer the questions in the table below about the shape of the phosgene (COCI,) molecule. How many electron groups are around the central carbon atom? Note: one "electron group" means one lone pair, one single bond, one double bond, or one triple bond. What phrase best describes the arrangement of these electron groups around the central carbon atom? (You may need to use the scrollbar to see all the choices.) (choose one)
