What is the Electron Geometry of an ABE3 molecule? Tetrahedral Trigonal bipyramidal Linear Trigonal planar
Added by Ronald O.
Step 1
To determine the electron geometry, we need to consider both the bonding and non-bonding electron pairs. In this case, there are three bonding pairs (from the three B atoms) and one non-bonding pair (from the lone pair E). Show more…
