A Lewis structure is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule that does no

Question

A Lewis structure is a two-dimensional representation of a molecule that does not necessarily show what shape that molecule would take in three dimensions. From the following Lewis structure and what you know about VSEPR theory, approximate the smallest bond angle in this molecule.

Explanation / Answer

According to VSEPR THEORY, a lewis structure of YX5 with a lone pair of electrons in the central atom Y. There are 6 things around central atom giving it an octahedral electronic geometry. the molecular geometry will be square pyramidal, with smallest bond angles of 90.
