Question

Indicate the electron pair geometry and the molecular geometry for each of the six compounds listed below by completing the following table. what did i do wrong?!

dicate the electron pair geometry and the molecular geometry for each of the six compounds listed below oy completing the folowing table. Compound Electron Pair Geometry Molecular Geometry BeClz inear linear trigonal pyramidal tetrahedral inear trigonal planar bent SO3 trigonal planar trigonal planar SO2 rigonal pyramidal bent CH4 tetrahedral tetrahedral PF3 tetrahedral trigonal planar SCl2 tetrahedral bent

Explanation / Answer

1) BeCl2:

In this compound the central atom Be has sp-hybridisation

Hence the electron pair geometry is -------- linear

It has no lone pairs ,hence sp-hybridisation with zero lone pairs has molecular geometry is -------- linear

2)SO3 :

In this compound the central atom S has sp2-hybridisation

Hence the electron pair geometry is -------- trigonal planar

It has no lone pairs ,hence sp2-hybridisation with zero lone pairs has molecular geometry is -------- trigonal planar

3) SO2:

In this compound the central atom S has sp2-hybridisation

Hence the electron pair geometry is -------- TRIGONAL PLANAR

It has one lone pair,hence sp2-hybridisation with one lone pair has a molecular geometry is -------- bent

4) CH4:

In this compound the central atom C has sp3-hybridisation

Hence the electron pair geometry is -------- TETRAHEDRAL

It has no lone pairs ,hence sp3-hybridisation with zero lone pairs has a molecular geometry -------- tetrahedral

5) PF3

In this compound the central atom P has sp3-hybridisation

Hence the electron pair geometry is -------- TETRAHEDRAL

It has a lone pair ,hence sp3-hybridisation with one lone pair has molecular geometry is -------- trigonal pyramidal

6) SCl2:

In this compound the central atom S has sp3-hybridisation

Hence the electron pair geometry is -------- TETRAHEDRAL

It has two lone pairs ,hence sp3-hybridisation with two lone pairs has a molecular geometry --------- bent shape or V-shape.
