Question

As indicated by Lewis structures, which of the following species could probably not exist as a stable molecule? NH_3 N_2H_2 N_2H_4 N_2H_6 N_2O_4 In CI_2CO, the electron pairs are located about the central carbon atom in a arrangement pyramidal tetrahedral trigonal planar trigonal bipyramidal square planar The molecular shape of the PH_3 molecule is best described as square pyramidal totrahedral trigonal planar trigonal pyramidal square planar The molecular shape of the SOCl_2 molecule is best described as pyramidal none of these octahedral trigonal planar bent The molecular shape of the OF_2 molecule is best described as pyramidal none of these octahedral trigonal planar bent The molecular shape of the NCl_3 molecule is best described as trigonal pyramidal none of these octahedral trigonal planar bent
