Which of these molecules will have a linear electron geometry and a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

None of the given molecules will have a linear electron geometry and a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry. Linear electron geometry occurs in molecules with two regions of electron density, while trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry occurs in molecules with four regions of electron density where one is a lone pair. None of the options provided fit these criteria simultaneously.
