1)In addition to tetrahedral, another common shape for AB 4 molecules is square

Question

1)In addition to tetrahedral, another common shape for AB4 molecules is square planar. All five atoms lie in the same plane, with the B atoms at the corners of a square and the A atom at the center of the square. Which shape in the figure below could lead to a square-planar shape upon removal of one or more atoms?

octahedral

2)Does this structure follow the octet rule?

linear trigonal planar tetrahedral trigonal bipyramidal

octahedral

2)Does this structure follow the octet rule?

Yes, the molecule follows the octet rule. No, the molecule does not follow the octet rule. 109.59 180° 120 AB2 linear AB3 trigonal p AB4 tetrahedral trigonal planar 90° 90 120° 90° ABs trigonal bipyramidal AB6 octahedral

Explanation / Answer

a. Octahedral

b. yes, the molecule follows the octet rule.
