Predict the electron pair geometry (EPG) and molecular geometry (MG) of the following compounds based on the Lewis structure and VSEPR: A. H2O B. PF5 C. CO2 D. SO2 E. CHCl3 Use VSEPR theory to predict the electron pair geometry and the molecular g...
Molecular geometry is the actual shape of a molecule in three-dimensional space. Compounds can have a molecular geometry similar to their electron pair geometry. If a compound has four electron groups around the central atom, the possible molecular geometries are tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, a...
