Trigonal pyramidal has a lone pair at the central atom! Whiletrigonal planar does not. Is trigonal pyramidal and pyramidal the same? Also, just a note: trigonal pyramidal is shape based on thatof tetrahedral. However, while tetrahedral has four bonds attached to the central atom, trigonal pyram...
Because carbon dioxide has 2 atoms bonded to it plus 2 electron pairs I see why the electron geometry is tetrahedral but my chart says that because of the lone pairs it should be bent - why is h2o be When hydrogen and oxygen bond, why does oxygen have a slightly negative charge an...
CH3CO2H, Resonance Structure: Some covalent molecules or ions are capable of resonance. This means that there are bonding valence electrons present in a portion of the structure, that can be delocalized (moved) between three or more atoms connected in sequence. The result is a set ...
Although the VSEPR model is correct in predicting that CH4 is tetrahedral, NH3 is pyramidal, and H2O is bent, the model in its simplest form does not account for the fact that these molecules do not have exactly the same bond angles (less...
Speculate on why the hexagonal unit cell is called "hexagonal," if the unit cell isn't a six-sided figure. Unit Cell Structure: The unit cells are the fully symmetrical tiniest constitutional unit repeated to form the crystal's lattice framework. Six lattice...
Knowing the molecule BCl3 has only three covalent bonds to the boron atom and no electron lone pair on the boron atom, what shape does the molecule have?What does the Lewis structure for carbon dioxide show on the central atom? a. 4 lone...
Use VSEPR to explain why {eq}BH_3, NH_3 \space and \space FCl_3 {/eq} all have different shapes even though they all follow the general formula of {eq}AX_3 {/eq}. . Electron Pairs: The shape of the molecules depends ...
(Relating to Lewis Dot Structure) How is BrI molecular geometry linear, yet the basic shape is a tetrahedral? Why is it polar? And do bonds with different elements make it polar and bonds with exact e Borazine (B_3N_3H_6) is isoelectr...
