Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.89E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The location of central atoms in the given balloon models is to be stated. The shapes that would be assumed by a group of five balloons and by a group of six balloons are to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
The shape of chemical molecules and ions is predicated by different theories and models such as VSEPR theory. When a central atom is surrounded by two atoms, then the shape of the molecule is assumed as linear. When a central atom is surrounded by three atoms, then the shape of the molecule is assumed as triangular. When a central atom is surrounded by four atoms, then the shape of the molecule is assumed as tetrahedral.
