Question
Chapter 4, Problem 54P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The molecular shape of molecules H2O and H3O+ around oxygen atom needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Lewis structures can be used to determine the shape around an atom in a molecule. In order to determine the shape of a central atom, first the number of atoms surrounded by it needs to be determined.
The valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory can be used to determine the shape around an atom.
