Using VSEPR theory, predict the electron pair geometry and molecular shape for each molecule. (a) HOBr (b) PI3 (c) SiF (d) CS2 (e) SO2 Use VSEPR theory to predict the molecular geometry of I F 5 . (a) tetrahedral (b) trigonal bipyrami...
Geometry: The molecular geometry of a certain compound can be predicted by finding the valence electrons of central atom and the number of monovalent atoms surrounded it. The following formula is used to find the hybridization which helps in the...
According to the NBO calculations, in all cases the hypercoordinate bond is formed via negative hyperconjugation of a lone-pair orbital of X− (X = PhS, Hal) with antibonding σ*-MO of the chalcogen-nitrogen bond of heterocycle. This description agrees with the Alcock model suggested ...
