According to the VSEPR model, a molecule with the general formula AB₃ with no lone pairs on the central atom will have a ________ molecular shape.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VSEPR model predicts the shape of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom. In this case, the notation AB₃ indicates a molecule with a central atom (A), one bonding domain (B1), and no lone pairs (U0) on the central atom, leading to a trigonal planar molecular shape.
