Find the total number of non-linear species out of given species :
I₃⁻, BeCl₂ (g), NH₂⁻, OH₂, XeF₂, N₂O, SO₂, SF₂
Answer:
4
Solution:
Explain Question: The question asks to determine the total count of chemical species from the provided list that possess a non-linear molecular geometry.
Concept: VSEPR Theory, Molecular Geometry.
Solution: Linear species include I₃⁻ (2 bond pairs, 3 lone pairs), BeCl₂ (2 bond pairs, 0 lone pairs), XeF₂ (2 bond pairs, 3 lone pairs), and N₂O (central N is sp hybridized).
Non-linear (bent/angular) species are NH₂⁻, H₂O, SO₂, and SF₂, as they all contain lone pairs on the central atom that distort the bond angle.
