Question
Chapter 3, Problem 67P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Whether the given information limits the choice of molecule or not needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
Molecular geometry and structure depend on the lone pair electron, bonding and nonbonding electrons on the central atom. The geometry of the molecule changes due to the presence of lone-pair of electrons which causes lone pair-bond pair repulsion and changes the shape of the molecule.
