Being able to quickly identify molecular geometries that are likely to be polar is a helpful skill for chemists.All of the ball-and-stick representations shown here are molecular geometries (not electron-pair geometries) 1st attempt hd See Periodic Table Q See Hint Part 1 (1 point) Feedback Assuming that the electron-pair geometry of the two ball-and-stick representations is identical, what is the atom? hybridization on the ce VIEW SOLUTION 9 OF 11

Explanation / Answer

As we can see that, the from the front view the atom at the back is not visible hence it should be in plane of the central atom and from the top view we can see the atoms are arranged in a triangular fashion Hence all the atoms lie in a plane and the shape is trigonal planar.

Hence the hybridisation is sp2 which corresponds to trigonal planar.

Please do give a thumbs up as it matters a lot and in case there are doubts leave a comment,
