Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The charge clouds around the central atom in a molecule that has seesaw geometry should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom. Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure.
(b)
Interpretation:
The charge clouds around the central atom in a molecule that has square planar geometry should be predicted.
Concept introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry.
