Bent = 3 electron domains, 1 lone pair
Linear = 2 electron domains, no lone pairs
Trigonal Pyramidal = 4 electron domains, 1 lone pair
Trigonal Planar = 3 electron domains, no lone pairs
Tetrahedral = 4 electron domains, no lone pairs
- The three-dimensional arrangement of the atoms of a molecule in a space is called a molecular shape.
- For molecular shape only bond pairs are considered
- The region around a specific atom in a molecule in which chances of finding electrons are high like lone pairs, bond pairs
- For the electron domain, bond pairs and lone pairs both are considered
Given:
The shape of molecules: bent, linear, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal planar, tetrahedral
To find:
The match of molecular shape with correct electron domains and lone pairs
Solution:
- Bent = 3 electron domains, 1 lone pair
- Linear = 2 electron domains, no lone pairs
- Trigonal Pyramidal = 4 electron domains, 1 lone pair
- Trigonal Planar = 3 electron domains, no lone pairs
- Tetrahedral = 4 electron domains, no lone pairs
