Passage / Comprehension
Hybridization theory can explain shape of some molecules but VSEPR theory can explain shapes involving lone pairs as well. This is because VSEPR is based on attraction and repulsions of electron pairs. According to VSEPR:
lone pair - lone pair repulsion > lone pair - bond pair repulsion > bond pair - bond pair repulsion
Considering these factors various shape of molecules viz. Bent, pyramidal, see saw, bent T shape, pentagonal planar, square planar etc can be explained.
According to VSEPR theory, which of the following molecule/compound is PLANAR
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
-> distorted octahedral
-> Tetrahedral
-> Bent T shape
-> see saw shape
