The molecular geometry of is octahedral. What is the geometry of (including lone pair(s) of electrons, if any)?
Trigonal bipyramidal
Explanation for correct option:
B. Trigonal bipyramidal:
Lone pair electrons:
Trigonal bipyramidal:
3. The electron pair geometry is a trigonal bipyramid with four atoms and one lone pair.
4. See-saw is the name of molecular geometry.
Explanation for incorrect option:
A. Pyramidal:
C. Tetrahedral:
When a molecule's core atom has four bonds and no lone pairs, the molecule is said to be tetrahedral.
D. Square planar:
Hence Option B. Trigonal bipyramidal is correct.
