If the central atom has two groups of electrons around it, what type of electron geometry is present? A. trigonal bipyramidal B. tetrahedral C. linear D. trigonal planar
Sri K.
According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, a molecule or ion that has four electron groups around the central atom will have what basic electron geometry? tetrahedral trigonal bipyramidal square planar You cannot determine the basic electron geometry of a molecule or ion without knowing whether the electron groups are lone pairs or bonding groups.

Specify the local electron geometries about the atoms labelled a-d. Unshared electron pairs affect local geometry and are included in the structural formula. For each atom enter one of the following: tetrahedral, square planar, trigonal planar, trigonal pyramidal, or linear.
