When I took general chemistry, I simply memorized a chart of geometries and bond angles, and I kinda/sorta understood what was going on. But it wasn’t until I started thinking of it in a different way, as I’ll explain below, that I finally and truly understood. In this article, we...
Determine the electron geometry, molecular geometry, and polarity of XeF_6. Determine the electron geometry and molecular geometry of BrF3. What is the hybridization of the central atom in ClF_3? Hybridization = What are the approximate bond a...
