Chapter 13, Problem 67E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The difference between central atom and terminal atom is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Molecular geometry is the $\text{3}-\text{D}$ representation of the molecule in a space. The Lewis model is not able to explain the shape of the molecules. In terms of electron density, the bonding electrons as well as lone pair of electrons holds the shape of the molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The difference between molecular geometry and electron pair geometry is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Molecular geometry is the $\text{3}-\text{D}$ representation of the molecule in a space. The Lewis model is not able to explain the shape of the molecules. In terms of electron density, the bonding electrons as well as lone pair of electrons holds the shape of the molecule.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:
