Question

In the property drawn Lewis Structure (showing all bonds, multiple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons), how many regions of electron density would be found around the Te atom of TeCl_4? 2 3 4 5 6 When you consider all the regions of electron density around the central atom of the Lewis Structure of the TeCl_4 molecule, the electron regions would be predicted to assume what overall geometry? Trigonal planar Trigonal bipyramidal Linear Tetrahedral Octahedral When you consider only the orientation of the bonding regions predicted by the Lewis Structure of the TeCl_4 molecule, what would be the predicted molecular shape of a TeCl_4 molecule? Trigonal bipyramidal Square pyramidal Seesaw Tetrahedral Square planar

Explanation / Answer

7. D

In structure of TeCl4 there are 5 electron pairs or region of electron density around Te.

8. B

Geometry of five electron pairs around Te is trigonal bipyramidal.

9. C

Geometry of 4 bonding electron pair around Te is see saw.
