According to the VSEPR model, a molecule with the general formula AB₄ with two lone pairs on the central atom will have a ________ molecular geometry.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The VSEPR model predicts the geometry of molecules based on the repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom. For a molecule with the general formula AB₄, which indicates one bond pair and two lone pairs on the central atom, the molecular geometry is square planar. This configuration minimizes repulsion between the electron pairs.
