Question
Chapter U2.10, Problem 1TAI
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The effect of the electron on the shape of the element needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The overall shape of a molecule depends on the total number of electrons in the valence shell.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1TAI
Due to repulsion within electron pairs (including bond pairs and lone pairs), the molecule prefers to get a shape in which repulsion is minimum.
Explanation of Solution
Valence shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is useful in predicting the shape of a molecule. If there are no lone pairs in the central atom, then the molecule will have regular geometry. But if there are lone pairs of electrons, the regular geometry of the molecule will be changed due to the repulsion of electrons and the molecule will take a new shape. For example, CH4 is tetrahedral as there is no lone pair on C. NH3 molecule is pyramidal as there is one lone pair on N atom.
Conclusion
Due to repulsion among electron pairs, the shape of a molecule depends on electrons.
