For the anion CCl3^-, the electron-pair geometry is _? The molecular geometry is _? Draw the Lewis Structure(s) and label, please!
Added by Robert M.
Step 1
First, we need to determine the total number of valence electrons. Carbon (C) has 4 valence electrons, each Chlorine (Cl) has 7 (for a total of 21), and the extra electron from the negative charge gives us 1 more. So, we have a total of 26 valence electrons. Show more…
