Concept explainers
Interpretation:
In the given molecule, all the bond angles and the increasing order of the bond lengths are to be estimated.
Concept introduction:
The three dimensional arrangement of atoms possesses by the molecule in space is known as the molecular geometry. The molecular geometry of any molecule is identified by using the central metal atom, pair of electrons and atoms surrounding the central atom with the help of VSEPR theory. The shape in VSEPR model gives specific angles between the bonds for the corresponding shape and these angles are known as bond angles.
The bond angle for tetrahedral geometry is
The bond angle for trigonal planar geometry is
The bond angle for linear geometry is
