Question
Chemistry Question on Chemical bonding and molecular structure
Which of the following structure of a molecule is expected to have three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons ?
A
Tetrahedral
B
Trigonal Planar
C
Pyramidal
D
Octahedral
Answer
Pyramidal
Explanation
Solution
Pyramidal structure of a molecule is expected to have three bond pairs and one lone pair of electrons 3 bonds +1 lone pair = trigonal bipyramidal
