Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The hybridization of central atom in following molecular structure should be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pair around the central atom.
Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure.
