Chapter 17, Problem 108AE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The molecular geometry of ${\text{AB}}_{\text{3}}$ molecule on the basis of given observation is to be determined.

Concept introduction: The molecular geometry gives the three dimensional arrangement of electron density of the bonds in order to minimize the repulsion of electronic cloud.

To determine: The molecular geometry of the ${\text{AB}}_{\text{3}}$ molecule if the molecule has overall zero dipole moment.
